I don't think it's just the attention economy. I think the Internet was bound to replace a lot of the time that people spent with friends. There's just too much interesting stuff too conveniently accessible.
- siquick 1y agoI’ve got a feeling that if you looked at the average persons average internet usage it would not be full of interesting stuff.
- barry-cotter 1y agoThe world is full of people who find things interesting that I don’t but that’s a fact about me, not the world.
- thimkerbell 1y agoWhat would happen if you tried a meetup with nearby people to read&discuss what you found interesting?
- Pamar 1y agoKey word: "conveniently". I can now (probably, not sure if this exists) don my Apple VR set and walk around Machu Picchu or the Sistine Chapel. But this would be a vicar experience. Just like reading lots of Wikipedia pages on, I dunno, Brutalism will not make an architect out of me.
