ISIL particularly is very slick, very sophisticated, proselytizing and recruiting, and they are very astute users of social media.
The future is in photos for social media. More and more people are not reading, so I try to attach a photo to most Tweets.
The Obama camp, the White House, and the media all condemned Romney before they condemned the attacks. Obama thought it more worthwhile to hit Romney for what he was doing than the terrorists for what they did. Romney got hit first.
Our attention spans have been reduced by the immediate gratification provided by smartphones and social media.
Twenty20 is cricket on speed. In an era of hectic lifestyles and falling attention spans, it gives spectators more drama and intensity in three hours that they would get from a whole-day match. And even though it is a heady cocktail of money, entertainment and media, at its core it is cricket.
The media, the polls and our legislatures fortunately have short attention spans.
What I worry about the most is the competition for young eyeballs. We have so many other competing forms of media. I don't take any audience members for granted.
