Nuance – You’re being missed!

No doubt, our attention span is decreasing. Modern day content is optimized for views. Titles are clickbaity. So are thumbnails.

Short form content has blown up the social media usage. Shorts, Reels, Stories, and shit. People are glued to their devices than ever before.

In this race to bottom, one key thing is overlooked, ‘Nuance’. Endless consumption of content has corrupted our brains. Such short span of time spent on a single piece of content isn’t enough to truly understand it. We are forced to take things at face value, based on how they look on the surface. It takes effort to find how it works under the hood. This false sense of understanding has long term effects. It gives us the illusion that we are becoming smarter by consuming so much variety of content, but in reality, it is making us dumb.

Since we don’t understanding anything, we merely are aware of it.

Almost everything you read, watch on social media has a lot of nuance associated with it. And that nuance is crucial for understanding the true meaning of the content.
