Gmonst,

I think that’s ‘the plan’. Get everybody converted to short attention spans, so we won’t feel the pain as it’s happening. “They” figure it’s just better to keep everybody in the rabbit hole.

So, for those plagued with the old fashioned, “long term attention span” (also known as deep thinkers) there’s that host of anti-depressants…take your pick. They’ll make you forget all of this stuff.

Could this be why Alzheimer’s has become such an epidemic? Sure seems like a cruel way to punish one for having a longer attention span.

Sigh..

That was a pretty entertaining summary.  Its funny to see how much of the big stuff six months ago is all but forgotten now.  We really do have a short attention span.

Whew! This makes it sound like a busy week, eh?

I can imagine students using this in place of Cliff notes 20 years from now, to turn out a last minute paper on the historical democratic election of 2008.
