I'm talking about consuming information. Mainly form my laptop. Which is no cause to complain, because I really enjoy spending time on the Internet. A little bit too much.
I spend so much time online. I go through what seems like hundreds and hundreds of articles a day, blogs, news, style, politics, business, videos, vlogs, music. Just hour after hour, I face piles of information and find myself attempting to hoard the most relevant ones lest they come up in a dinner party conversation, be useful as a 'fun fact' or as a good start to an awkwardly hanging conversation. And of course, the things that are important to me personally require no effort to be committed to memory.
Again, my mind's eye is set against a dinner party backdrop, it is the silly season after all.
It is so fascinating how everyone is just out there, within reach, trying to reach - and in the case of marketing - outstretching.
It feels like there are so many arms stretched out but all touching each other by mere fingertips with no real attempt to grab hold.
What does it take to stand out in an overcrowded, noisy world, where people shout over each other with their fingertips as they tap away on their keyboards.
How do you foster real, genuine relationships in this exceedingly, congested world where it seems as though everyone can be easily objectified as a means to an end? A name on a website?
An item that comes after a @ and before a #.
