In a world where the average person sees 5,000 advertisements daily but remembers virtually none, attention has become our most precious and limited resource. The very word "advertising" comes from Latin advetere - "to turn towards" - literally drawing attention to something. While our digital landscape has exploded exponentially (by 2010, humans were creating as much content every two days as we had from civilization's dawn until 2003), our cognitive bandwidth remains stubbornly finite. This scarcity makes attention incredibly valuable. Every commercial communication attempts to influence mass opinion and purchase behavior by changing how others' brains operate. The most successful ideas in history, like the golden rule, succeed because they're concise, memorable, and work across contexts. Attention itself behaves like water - liquid, directional, channeled - creating a "spotlight" effect that causes inattentional blindness where we fail to notice things outside our focus. This limitation forms the foundation of advertising's endless race for our limited mental bandwidth.
