Soundbites destroy depth and context-

You want brevity----let's be succinct- attention spans would have collapsed during the eleoquence of the Gettysburg address

the medium is the message and the massage
anything longer and your attention would have waned

Why is that---ask yourself how the technology you choose to communicate shapes your consciousness------over and out!

Isn't it quite powerful to at least be able to get their attention with a really good sound byte.

The trick is to have some good ones (used as 2x4s --just ask the donkey) so you can at least get their attention for the explanation.

Two sides to every pancake I guess.
