Another quote worth pondering...

I'm a little absorbed with work-related issues at the moment, so no creative writing out of me for a few more days. In the meantime, stumbled on this quote, and thought it worth considering. Ken, T, this one's for you:

These distraction-oholics. These focus-ophobics. Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother’s busy holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed. He's making sure your imagination withers. Until it's as useful as your appendix. He's making sure your attention is always filled. And this being fed, it's worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what's in your mind. With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world."

All I'll add is that Big Brother IS still watching... to see who ISN'T fully absorbed by the Vanity Fair.
