There was time when I used to read books, articles in very short span of time. There was a time when whatever printed paper I could lay my hands on - I used to consume. There was an almost obsessive media consumption habbit - the print media that I used to consume.
Then came the media on the computer screen, media on television screens, media on websites, pdfs, now we have the wikies and the blogs. If I really try to read a big fat novel now on paper print - I have a feeling I will take 10 times more duration than I used to do earlier.
The attention span is going rapidly down - down and down. The new screens are the 2 inches screens on my mobile - thats the media that that I will have - what can I read there.
There is a need for byte size media consumption. The New industry is how to create small crisp clear messages to be printed as small consumable capsules - well the age of large detailed reports, papers and books is slowly dwindling - Yet the variety that I am reading today is far more than I was reading earlier -
The width has increased exponentially -
We are entering the age of micro-media This link indicates the emergence of what the author says micro-behaviours.
