Consider the following scenario. You are ingesting a broad spectrum of experiences. Sights, sounds, smells, tastes... mysterious feelings... touching stuff with your skin... Then suddenly you fixate on a bit of media drama. You focus. Concentrate. This broadband experience is reduced to a narrow trickle of symbols. It's like breathing through a straw. You feel like garbage.
