Instead of your hypothetical ideal online news feed, we get the opposite: headlines which now attempt to directly program the reader's attitude about the thesis of the article, because nobody reads the article anyways these days (in this information economy), just the headlines. Thus, the body of the article is increasingly useless as a persuasion tool, especially compared to the headline, so the result--the headline which tells you the thesis of the article and how to feel about it in the same breath--is only the logical conclusion to what social media is doing to our brains, and to society. https://www.bing.com/search?q=and+that%27s+a+good+thing https://www.bing.com/search?q=and+that%27s+a+bad+thing |
