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"! :-)
