Andy Serwer, the managing editor of Fortune magazine and a man I admire, recently wrote a piece in Fortune Magazine on the insane amounts of information and channels available (think Facebook/twitter/etc) calling it the end of blogging. I like Andy’s view and he made some great points, but I have another perspective.
This deluge of information and the continuing reduction of content to sound bites is not the end of blogging. It’s the end of critical thinking. It’s the beginning of an Attention Deficit Disorder pandemic.
