Multimedia And Our Short Attention Spans

[tlfatv...@yahoo.com]

Would you lug your desktop or laptop computer with you wherever you
go? What about your home video game system, your stereo and your
entire CD collection? Would you also take all your photo albums with
you wherever you are?
Probably not, as it wouldn't really make sense to do so. It would also
be a major inconvenience and just plain troublesome. There are many
people, though, who simply, either by necessity or by choice, feel the
need to be connected to everything and everyone at all times. Or
maybe, some of us have such a short attention span that we simply can
not focus on something without the pull of music or video games to
lure us away from whatever we are supposed to be focused on.
There are devices which, depending on your viewpoint, either prey upon
our 24 hour need to be entertained, or merely feeds an appetite shared
by many. The iPod Video can play music, videos, and show and display
pictures. The Playstation Portable can play video games, as well as
music, movies and more. Cellular phones do much more than and and
receive calls - they are complete media centers in and of themselves.
Today's technology, in one sense, is far greater than the sum of its
parts....
