I think the attention span is generally low. I've recently gotten some flak about some of my entries in my blog being too long, or else heard about how people like shorter posts. I think back to all the times I've had to read some imposing tome whether for study or personal reasons and I wonder how these fragile souls get along in the world--do they always get to do what they want with little effort and less attention?
when I say dead i mean antithetical to life --not the mere contrast --but the burglar who steals it away in the night
--there are those things--tomes---thet when you step back to broaden your view of --you will find life affirming --how much of what one dredges up online can it be said the same of*?*
do they always get to do what they want with little effort and less attention?
yes --the internet makes sure of it --unless they wrest themselves from its clammy grip
