MediaFuturist: The abbreviation of everything
I think the increasing shortening of people’s digital attention span, and the trends towards reading and writing quick blurbs and instant nuggets of wisdom (of which I am plenty guilty myself) will sooner or later spawn a trend back towards deeper reading and writing, just like the success of the console game GuitarHero has resultedContinueContinue reading “MediaFuturist: The abbreviation of everything”
