You could also apply the same theory to food writing/criticism. On something like twitter, someone can be one of the first to go to a hot new restaurant, take photos of the food, post them on twitter, and then provide a 140 character criticism of it. It wouldn't suprise if there are some food bloggers who aim to do just that - be the first at anywhere new.

Yes I agree. That immediate press of a switch just creates a fickleness and a lack of time. Is the three minute pop song now to be considered a bit too prog in terms of time. Music reduced to ten second jingles? Art to 3 second flashes? Films to a condensed youtube effort? Hmmm I'm not sure this is progress.
