What Is It With ‘Short’?
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010
Yeah, like the title says, what is it these days with culture’s new direction (probably spawned by the Internet) that short, short, short is better, better, mo’ better. As a human race, our attention span is getting less and less. Our ability to pay attention now seems down to mere seconds.
There’s so much jockeying for our attention out there that we bounce from one thing to another skipping along the top of life, clicking madly on – to what? More stuff, more facts, more trivial pursuit. All in the name of the information age.
I think it’s a dangerous trend for humanity and one that I’m witnessing grabbing a hold of our culture and chancing generations of mediocrity and, yes, (egads!) shallow thinking.
