New For Dummies
I was reading a story from CNN.com about a guy who wrestled with a jaguar when I noticed something I’d never seen. There’s now a box called Story Highlights. See below.
I’ve finally lost what little hope for America I had left. When our nation’s leading news sources think that our attention span is so short that they must condense a 190 word article down to bullet points, it’s time to just pack it up and call it a day. I thought that annoying scroll bar at the bottom of their television programming was ADHD-friendly enough, but the text in there looks like Bleak House compared to Story Highlights.
Has it really come to this? And where do we go from here? A little box with keywords. “Israeli, leopard, wrestle, grrrrrr.” I never would have thought they could (or would want to) liquefy news as well as they have, I just can’t wait to see the next step.
