23 May 2013

When I had first started this blog on 2 December 2012, I decided to kick it off with a bit of dark humour - an article about how we no longer have the patience to read anything on the internet.

Today marks the first edition of Throwback Thursdays, where once a week we revisit some Golden Oldies for any new Daily Quoters who haven't had the time to look back that far.

Ever look back at your own work a few months after you've written it and just think to yourself 'Man I was shit back then'?
Me neither.

'Pancake People' - a term used by playwright Richard Foreman to describe someone who knows very little about a lot of things. Knowledge spread thin.
Kind of like the first part of Huxley's quote; "Know something about everything, and everything about something".



This 2008 article from The Atlantic poses the question; is Google making us stupid?
Has instantaneous access to information, trivial or not, reduced our attention span to nothing?
With all the knowledge that Google has on hand, why do we still squander our time with the superfluous?


The first post of many.
Here is your quota for the day.
See you tomorrow; same bat time, same bat channel.
