It's a very greedy world out there. So much is thrown at us that it feels like you're getting drenched by a water hose (er! is it a fire hose?!)
So, like the intelligent, evolving creatures, we are probably programming ourselves to consume and digest as many bits and pieces of information as possible.
Long winded stories are out - Tweets are in! Complexity is no longer cool - Less is More!
Does that bother? Yeah, definitely.
You can no longer hide behind words or unleash your infinite knowledge on some scapegoat of audience because simplicity demands clarity and who in the hell has clarity these days? Well, at least I don't!
As someone once said - "The road to excess leads to the palace of wisdom". And we definitely do not want to be too wise too early, do we? :-)
