I think this is the opposite of what we need. Twitter and other things that encourage us to consume only bite-sized information (like http://tldr.it/ http://tldr.it/) are basically making everyone dumb (or at least giving us ADD). The skill of articulating a complete and well supported or explained thought is critical in almost every line of work, but following things like this we train our own mental bandwidth for long-form stuff out of existence.
Detail is critical for understanding, analysis, and response. Teaching people to operate without it is dangerous.
- roder 16y agoI completely agree with the fact that we're becoming more dumb or increasing in incident of ADD; however that doesn't make a case for writing effective emails. In that case you should blog to practice your thought articulation and critical thinking.... However, I think writing concise emails, direct to the point, sans fluff is good for effective communication.
