We’re in the middle of an Attention War – where big tech battle it out to win over our eyeballs. Our attention spans are considered a precious—and scarce—commodity. So what is the price of your attention? In this mini-series, we'll explore the psychology, design and impact of tech and social media on both ourselves and society. This is the last episode of a six-part series – please check out the previous five!

Thank you to Tim Wu, Genevieve Bell, Amber Westerholm-Smyth and the wonderful students – Kate, Makenna and Reid – for their contributions to this episode.
