*Clears dust from blog* It has been a while...
I've been thinking recently about content overload. With the internet taking over everything, our attention spans are getting shorter and shorter. We demand to be entertained, and we cast aside anything that bores us even for second. Why? Because there is a long, long, loooong line of other distractions just waiting a few hyperlinks away. We suffer from FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and feel a need to consume so much content so quickly, that we gulp it down instead of savoring it. Let's use gaming as an example. I bought the Humble Indie Bundle and found myself with many games all there for me to play at once. As a result, I now have a guilty conscience full of perfectly fun, yet unfinished games that I abandoned in my rush to play the rest. I used to replay games, hunt for secrets and try to experience everything they had to offer because I only got maybe 2 games a year. I'm babbling a bit, but you get my point: We need to slow down, avoid overexposure to new content all the time and enjoy each offering to it's fullest.
