The Little Things In Life

There was a time when people used long sentences and big words to sound important (if you have read  Pride and Prejudice or  Sherlock Holmes , you will know what I mean). But, today in a world where food is fast and coffee is instant, you really don’t have time for long lectures and endless discourses. In the world of media and internet too, our attention span is too short and our patience is too little to hold on to lengthy, extensive write ups/ videos/ blogs. I personally don’t read the first paragraphs of any article that I read on the internet. It’s just an introduction, slowly trying to sweep in to the main point, and some of them just beat about the bush. I just skip to the main points and skim through the text looking for words that sum up the whole point. So the key mantra in today’s high-speed internet era is: Come, make your point and leave.
