We used to know 10 or 20 people well and communicate with maybe 50.
No thanks to anti-social media we know hundreds of people and communicate with potentially orders of magnitude more.
Since we have not all become ascended masters or PhD level communicators the level of communication is same except the quantity is much higher.
What this means is that we all have to click through a lot more distracting garbage to get to the same stuff we used to get to before. Yeah yeah yeah “there’s a Lotta good stuff on Netflix@ — I get it. No, I really do, but there’s too much noise.
It would be really great to see no more communication channels that don’t automatically come coupled with intelligence search/noise reduction and distraction reducers of some sort. (I mean I can buy really nice Bose active noise cancellation headphones, why can’t I buy the same option on Slack?)
It’s funny how we never really solved the problem of search, but we got this problem of broadcast figured out pretty well. (well at least Discord had the perspicacity to properly name themselves.)
