“ As a medium gets faster, it gets more emotional. We feel faster than we think.

What does that even mean? How can a medium get more emotional? Zapping through TV channels is no slower than reading a Twitter feed.
Or browsing through newspaper headlines.
Or listening to a radio news report.
The issue is not the speed, it’s the emotional investment in individuals who are part of the medium.
Sometimes people really overthink stuff.
