Gordon Crovitz, former Wall Street Journal publisher, examines the digital transformation:
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos dedicated his most recent shareholder letter to explaining his cultural ambitions for the Kindle. Laptops, BlackBerrys and mobile phones have “shifted us more toward information snacking, and I would argue toward shorter attention spans.” He hopes that “Kindle and its successors may gradually and incrementally move us over years into a world with longer spans of attention, providing a counterbalance to the recent proliferation of info-snacking tools.”
I’m hearing more good things every month about the Kindle — which is kin to the original iPod. More good things are coming.
