Data being immutable is also an aspect that I like about Blockchain technology in general. And it also adds to the overall freedom of expression experience on a platform like Hive.

These days the attention span often seems a microblog long. Very tough to make it into the everlasting league. Even if there's a proven authority within a certain realm. A sign of the times perhaps. Maybe with automation taking over a lot of fields it also creates a hunger for 'new' and 'fast'.

Floods of information, or just data input. With the internet everyone can know about someone on the other side of Earth having an itch. It's trending, one needs to have watched it. Ow, that yesterminutes, now there's this monkey that...

Guess I'm a dinosaur too. Although I think this jiffy attention span won't last. There are a lot of Smombies (I heard it yesterday it's Smart Mobile and Zombie combined) everywhere. Apparently they seem to live in an alternate augmented reality. But it's hard for me to see a fruitful future where this behaviour becomes dominant. Otherwise the homo-sapiens species is doomed to extinct.

Guess I'm a Grumpy Man also...

Yet, in another direction there's movement also. And people will find each other there. In this huge sea of zeros and ones individuals do want to connect in a more meaningful way that lasts a bit longer than a jiffy. And within this I know there's a limit to what I can take in. Narrowing down what I want to be a part of.

Somehow I think that it will balance itself out again. Where meaningful interaction will become more important.

Or I'm just becoming more conservative the older I get.
