I no longer read books really. I read the internet. I read MemeStreams. And I hate long winded articles like Al Gore's recent speech. I want everything to be fast. I don't have time for details because there is so much else to look at. I like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, cause its 15 minutes, as opposed to West Wing, which I have to devote an hour to. And my TV is cut up by my Myth TV. I watch it when I want to and not when shows are programmed. And even so, when shows pile up on my mythTV and articles pile up in my memebox I feel like I just have a lot of work to do. There is no way in hell I'm going to read quicksilver. It seems unfit for the times. It seems like my life is just more hurried then it was even a year ago.

Where is this heading? Is this progress or regress? I have so many shiny things competing for my attention that I can't really delve into any of them... Are we loosing out ability to think deeply, or are we simply trying to break things up into smaller time slices so we can task switch more effectively?
