When we are bombarded with information from every direction simultaneously, critical thinking is pushed aside out of necessity by faster, more holistic forms of awareness. Emotion and image take center stage.
We are learning to use our digital media as a form of ESP.
We don’t read, we scan.
We jump around quickly searching for patterns,
flashes of relevance
and the instant gratification of icons and images.
Our arguments and ideas no longer sit in tidy, straight lines,
they explode in clusters and constellations.
