We don't need roads |
A 1.21 gigowatts-powered tumblelog brought to you by Kevin Bongart since 1985. I put here the cool stuff I find on the Internet and want to keep as souvenir, post great songs and sometimes I write. I'm half of 0to88 and we created WatchThis, a website that will make you watch good movies. |

Information Is Getting Smaller and Faster
Look at the historic progression of popular personal written information containers over the past 10+ years:
Home pages > Blogs > Lists of Links > Tumblr > Twitter
I see two symbiotic trends. First, I see a reduction in the average size of a piece of information. I see information that feeds our short attention spans. Second, and more important, I see our tools increasingly removing barriers from producing information. Remember when you needed a nerd friend to set up a weblog? Did you have any issue figuring out how to publish a thought with Twitter? I hope not.
