Noisy World

The creators at the multi-media educational firm, Maun Studio co-founded “Um Minuto de Sua Atenção” (One Minute of Your Attention), an educational and cultural project that operates in Brazilian territory to promote sustainability in the Attention Economy.

Among their creations is the easy-to-read picture book: Noisy World.

This ground-breaking family technology guide is a unique and thoughtful “users manual” for families to manage their most important resource: THEIR OWN ATTENTION.

The Hug Morenz Foundation is proud to be the sole online host of (an advanced copy) of an English-version of this book. We feel that it is a profoundly effective introduction of “Media Literacy” concepts to Tweens, Teens, and their Families.
