Clay Shirky has a unit of attention called the Wikipedia: 100 million
person-hours of thought. Television takes up 200 billion hours of
thought every year.
Kinda presumes that people are thinking when they edit though, doesn't it?
Maybe Wikipedia should take a leaf out of the book of my old students'
union, which had a line in the section of its constitution that
defined the ruling Council: "members must think before voting"! :-)
