My video will focus on the issue of attention span, and Digital Media's tendency to shorten it.  That's a pretty standard complaint, but I plan of whittling the "problem" down to "emotional attention span" (a term I'd like to think I've just coined, but probably haven't).  Emotional attention span is the time and investment it takes for us to become emotionally invested in something.  Many who use the internet as frequently as I do have spoken of the immediate intimacy they feel for many things.  How they can be brought to tears by a 30 second clip, or laugh harder than they ever have at a sentence.  I'll attempt to explore the pros and cons of such an existence of immediate emotional gratification, but can only promise to diagnose it.
