RE: Do experts write worthless blogs?!

in #blog8 years ago (edited)

Yeah, "they don't have patience anymore".

Unfortunate but true. This scanning you refer to leads to our digestion of more and more content in less time. No wonder that reading books is becoming ever more scarce these days among people!

That's the way it is ,ok. But sooner or later we'll overtax our brain with all this information overload, and not only that, the entire scanning of texts and key word search comes devoid of any Joy in the process of reading

I think when we put our Heart in our work the Universe naturally guides our words in the direction you describe it here.

These technically high level readings are those which I could read five times in a row, and the moment I finish them I forgot already what the content was, so boring they are for me. As if my brain's natural propensity is inclined to outsource anything that isn't important for my INNER learning and/or passion.

Thanks once again! :)

You know what publishers of books say? They declare soft or hard cover books shouldn't be written like internet blog's content. But it time I think people will get even lazier and won't bother to read hardcore books anymore. Barbara Cartland realized this years back, and she made her paragraphs short, even containing one sentence only! She also threw out all the unnecessary dribble from the plot.
As to attention span, when people are listening to a talk, they used to hold their attention up to about 20 minutes. Now you are lucky if they hold their attention for 10 minutes!

Yes! I too thought posting very short text snippets might be an option here because people's shortened attention span closes up quickly. But I then again think it is a bad joke to only post one sentence. Quite a consciousness split indeed!
