But what about us old fogeys who don't want an
event, we just want a book?
I think it's a focus thing. People who have grown up with the TV blaring all the time (often several TVs on separate channels in various rooms), cell phones, email, yadda, yadda, yadda, can't focus on one thing at a time. They're so used to constant stimulation that they have to have it, and can't manage without it. For them, "normal"
is five different things screaming for their attention at once.
I suppose it works for them. But I think they're missing a lot. They're so busy listening to the external shouting that they're missing the internal whispering. They are developing colorful flowers, but no roots. And that's not a good thing.
