The Curiosity Gap - Deepstash

The Curiosity Gap

The notifications which count the number of unread emails/messages/requests/reactions behave like a slot machine. This is because we cannot see the whole story, and have succumbed to a Curiosity Gap.

The bell icon on Twitter often has a few unread notifications highlighted in red. It gets our attention because we are tempted to close that gap in our knowledge.

Now that unread notifications, missed calls, unattended emails and texts have cropped up at 25 different places at any given time, our attention is fragmented and highly degraded.
