Shifting Perceptions of Time
Content consumption is evolving towards shorter formats, reflecting a societal trend of shrinking attention spans. Despite this, there is a contrasting desire for long-term thinking, as exemplified by the Long Now Foundation's efforts to envision the future over the next 10,000 years. This duality raises questions about the relationship between short-term and long-term goals and how best to balance these opposing forces. Engaging in projects spanning a decade or more is increasingly viewed as a critical antidote to the fleeting nature of contemporary content.
