Micro-dramas are not trying to replicate cinema. They are designed to be watched in between train stops, in bed, in the palm of your hand, writes Minnie Stephenson.
This represents a microcosm of the attention span of those people who live via social media.
The world is a dark place and could become even darker, the future will need people with vision, resilience and grit, micro will never meet that need for us as a country or as part of our collective international duties to peace and prosperity.
This is really sick! It should be given a health warning. People's attention spans are too short for their own good and pandering to that loss of mentality will just exacerbate the problem. It needs to be recognised as a problem, people don't know how to use their brains anymore. We'd not have other dangers like the orange moron accross the pond if people could think properly.
So is the circle being completed, Minnie? Will the micro-dramas evolve to be as short as a 15 second commercial so the commercials can fill up the time slots? Perhaps it's time for that low-earth orbit collision to shut things down for a few decades? Just questions are here because I have no answers.

I wonder if literature will (or perhaps already has) followed this trend? I'm thinking of the novella or novelettes.
