Contrary to the belief that information is free and abundant, it comes at a steep cost of time and attention, both of which are limited resources. Many individuals misuse these resources consuming vast amounts of information that contribute little to personal well-being. The author suggests that previous generations had a more tangible understanding of information costs, as they had to invest effort in retrieving knowledge from physical mediums. The author, an entrepreneur, highlights the real-world implications of time spent on information consumption, indicating it often detracts from more important life priorities.
Information is actually one of the most expensive things in the world, and no matter how much money you have, you'll never be able to afford as much of it as you need.
The cost of information consumption is time and attention - our two most limited resources - which are almost always better spent on the things that really matter in life.
