Re: So confused...
What I would be curious to see is whether you see what is called for as reality in Canada Today or not.

Re: So confused...
@mpouraryan - Wow! The article from Hossein Derakhshan was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. I like how he pulled everything - essentially - going on in the world today as a result of our new life living off social media. Realistically insignificant opinions and facts become much larger than they really are or should be in the scope of the world, while the big things seem to go unnoticed. Caring about what Kim Kardashian's daughter wore takes precedence over trying to have a discussion about the beliefs of the people in ISIS and how we might try to touch that part of the world. His perspective is unique, and it is likely only someone with that unique experience that would even notice what social media has truly done to our society. Thank you so much!!

He's indeed a pioneer--and he's paid a very heavy price for having been one. Some words of wisdom no doubt.

Re: Spoilers
Joe,
Now that's an interesting little bit of information theory. Hypothesis: On-demand will reduce a viewer who loves TV's viewing time because it reduces the cost of missing a show you would have enjoyed. Formerly, it meant waiting and hoping for it to be re-run; then it meant the trouble and expense of acquiring a copy; now, if you were watching CITY SANITATION: GARBAGE HAULERS IN LUST and your friends are all telling you that you completely missed out by not watching the FINNEGANS WAKE miniseries, you just find the time to watch both. Opportunity cost of almost zero.
So a certain amount of TV watching used to be driven by the concern that you might miss something you'd love; now, it's driven only by the actural desire to consume, and of course that nets out to less.
Re: Spoilers
@vnewman: Yeah, but that's work. If somebody's too lazy to watch a TV show, then they're probably not going to go through all of that trouble. ;)
Re: Spoilers
@John: There's also Cialdini's Law of Scarcity. When we had to watch a show at a specific time and date, it was more important to watch. Now that we can watch it any ol' time., we de-prioritize such watching.
Re: So confused...
I fell out of The Wire at the Season 2 premiere. Since then, it's been on my "I'll get around to watching that again...someday" list.
Re: Spoilers
@John: Interesting examples.
Over the years, It's a Wonderful Life has gone from one of my favorite films to one I hate. Now that I'm an adult, I'm firmly of the opinion that Jimmy Stewart's character and his brother should have lost their banking licenses and been jailed for bank fraud -- and that Potter was the real good guy. As for Mr. Holland's Opus -- a fine film, a tear-jerker, but when you step away and think about it, the guy has one really nice moment where he feels like his life has had meaning -- and then, undoubtedly, after the end credits roll, his life gradually goes back to drudgery and dissatisfaction, as before.
(I am unfamiliar with the other two you mentioned on that list.

> Yes, people attention spans are getting shorter--but the need for deep engaging analysis should be at the heart of transformaiton--right?
Huh? Are you still talking about that?
