Einstein pointed out that time is relative to the observer, so it shouldn’t surprise me that it’s sped up lately.
The speed at which news spreads across the Twitterverse has reached incredible proportions with meme’s growing, spreading and dying in a matter of days. There is a sense that, when someone tells you something in the afternoon, it can feel old because you heard somewhere else that morning; only a couple of hours ago.
Last week a handful of topics spread faster than ever, including the cockpit recording of the conversation leading to the Hudson River Plane Crash, David after The Dentist and Christian Bale’s rant.
Christian Bale’s rant went from rumour to remix on youtube in a matter of hours while, curiously, I heard of David after the Dentist clip in reverse – I saw a Chad Vader remix before I actually heard about the original. I must admit it was a little confusing but that’s what happens when time accelerates.
Is it just me?
