The Revenge of Content

We've all had enough of your yapping.

So, reading a non-personal blog that will remain nameless recently, I found that all the articles were, in fact, friggin huge. The world needs opinions, not epistles.

This is because there's so much content out here that we're finding that leisure time (unless you are very fortunate or lazy) is a prohibitive factor on consumption. That's never been a problem before--back before the internet was TV (you know, when TV was still TV), those in front of the Tube could not change the amount of content they got in an hour; it was an hour of TV in an hour of real time. Those in front of the Tubes, however, have a whole A/V multimedia freakshow smorgasbord in front of them: an hour of TV (real TV from Hulu or whatever) in 42 minutes, an hour of numbing user-created YouTube content in an hour + however much time you use to search it. Blogposts on your wpm reading, and webcomics in a flash. Flash comics: not in a flash, ironically, though still enjoyable.

Keep it simple, get to the point, and stop destroying the internet. Thanks.
