WAIT! don't go yet.

Recently, in my Mass Communications and the Media class, (mass comm for all you high school class-loving-acronym users) I read two articles regarding the short attention spans of readers these days. But it's true! The article was not another tiresome, tedious, treacherous (whatup alliteration) "busy-work assignment" given by the teacher. Many of you have already stopped reading this because one of these thoughts are going through your mind:
A: FACEBOOK MESSAGE
B: TEXT
C: These bloggers need to get off their soapboxes
D: Time to switch the song...
E: ANOTHER TEXT!
F: Both B & E

Now, for those of you who endured those perpetual, DIFFICULT outside distractions, I tell you that reader's attention spans are diminishing. Less and less students can actually they have read a book cover to cover in school. What's a book?

Everyone receives all their necessary information through Facebook or Twitter. No one will read long online passages that are filled with drone scholarly information.

However you can't blame the short attention spans ENTIRELY on the youth....hey look a butterfly...

But in all seriousness, the media is the one controlling us. We are forced to conform to quick internet banter on sites like facebook, twitter, myspace (PEDAFILES UNITE!), or other public online chatrooms (chatroulette.com). Only the brave souls dare to venture into long deep articles pertaining to the meaning of life, healthcare issues, the middle east, EGHS football coach controversy and then actually complete the article where the reader is able to form an opinion.

So congratulations to all of you who have made it through this article. Consider yourselves one of the smarterer readers and thinkerers on the streets. Keep up your good work.
