A wonderful dinner it was.

I think a lot of the lack of listening ability is attention span. We have been being trained to a shorter and shorter attention span by the media we watch and listen to. People feel to rushed, they want it now, that is what the commercialization has done to people, they need are told they need it now that they want it now. The shorter the attention span the more various and different products that can be sold to a person. 

I think they have run out of the ability to shorten peoples attention span any further, the people are re-learning to stop and listen, they are learning that we do not need it right now. People are turning to and tuning in to longer content, they are looking for substance over matter. The 3 minute sound bite of the 80's turned to a 30 second sound bite in the 2000's. People want more in-depth content.

It is that quest for depth of content I think that will be the game changer for society. We are on a cusp as a society, we can either grow or slide back, from where I am sitting I see a real chance of growth for society. People are re-learning to listen and to block out the shouting and to differentiate from the content and the background noise.
