A number of scientists analyzed data from various sites on The Web, and found that attention -span has indeed been declining over the years:
"Sune and his colleagues wanted to understand what has been driving this change, so they built a complex mathematical model to try and figure it out."
"It's a bit like the systems used by climate scientists to predict the weather. It was designed to see what you could do to data to make it rise and fall at faster and faster rates, in ways that resemble the decline in collective attention they had been documenting."
"What they discovered is that there is one mechanism that can make this happen every time, You just have to flood the system with more information. The more information you pump in, the less time people can focus on any individual piece of it."
"It's a fascinating explanation of why this acceleration is happening' Sune told me. Today,'There's more information in the system.So if you think about 100 years ago, literally it would take time for news to travel.If there was some kind of huge catastrophe,in Norwegia,they would have to get down to Oslo, someone would write it up, it would slowly find it's way across the globe..."

I wonder what your opinion is on evolutionary psychology.
Some people treat is as an iron-clad thing; our instinctual drives and biological characteristics, laid early on in human history, direct our activities to this day,despite attempts to repress or re-direct them. Others consider that innacurate, pseudo-religious; basically they think that it only somewhat affects the probability of an outcome, with another major factor to consider being the environment that individuals live in.
What do you think?

To me it makes sense that it's a factor that affects our lives, though I wouldn't say it overpowers us completely, because certainly environmental factors play their part, also. I find it convincing to think that we lived without electricity for 99% of our time walking the Earth and that we know for sure that light pollution, especially at night when we should be sleeping, is harmful to us, so there are reasons to believe in evolutionary psychology. However, the sole fact that we not only succesfully invented time-keeping devices but also regimented our lives not around sunrise and sunset but the hands of the clock certainly proves that we can alter our destinies despite whatever our biology is attuned to, for better or for worse.

Do you have a favourite era of retro-futurism? The current craze is the turn of the millenum variety, but I prefer the mid 20th Century variety. Much sleeker and classier. Etherealism doesn't exactly appeal to me.

It may be cliched, but I like retrofuturism of the "casette" variety, 70-80s, stuff you'd see in early cyberpunk movies. Does that count as turn of the millenium? A world where computers never stopped being analog/early digital, the only storage media are floppies and tape and there are loads of CRTs with monochrome displays. Would I wanna live in such a world? I don't think so, because it's always depicted in a bleak manner, but I like analog media! I wonder if retrofuturist fantasy is a thing; everything's better with magic.

Once upon a time there were many web sites like this. I had one myself dedicated to OekakiBBS digimon fanart. Yours is more polished of course but back then it would have been just another drop in the ocean.
And now? Now it's a special treat to stumble upon something like this. Like shaking friends with an old hand.
Salutations among ghosts in the machine!

I found this on zzzchan. Cool to see something that's not consumed and regurgitated web 3.0 nonsense. I should make more internet treks like this in the future.

Thank you for passing by! My site is designed to work properly in IE4 and text-based browsers. Did you find anything interesting?
Now, I just have to wonder who's posting this place all over, but it's free publicity, I guess.

Poisoned candy myths are urban legends about malevolent strangers intentionally hiding poisons, drugs, or sharp objects such as razor blades, needles, or broken glass in candy and distributing the candy in order to harm random children, especially during Halloween trick-or-treating. These stories serve as modern cautionary tales to children and parents and repeat two themes that are common in urban legends: danger to children and contamination of food.
No cases of strangers killing or permanently injuring children this way have been proven.

Has it really never happened? It sounds very easy to do, and there are a lot of crazy people around willing to hurt children for a laugh. Or are there? The world is actually not the worst it could be?

Ever heard of 'Mean World Syndrome'?
It's a proposed cognitive bias wherein people may perceive the world to be more dangerous than it actually is, due to long-term moderate to heavy exposure to violence-related content in mass media.
For example homicide rates have dropped to near 1950s levels,and things like rape have always been relatively rare, but people still talk about being afraid to go out at night, and such-like.
(Actually, there is a theory that crime rates only increased in the '60s-80s simply because the baby boomer generation, the biggest cohort until then simply reached the 'crime-committing age'.)
