Combinations With And Without Repetition

Why my MA thesis on the blog writing How

I am asked frequently why I my master's work online and in writing short texts, I wanted to here to refer again:


I do not think that the power generation more or less communicated as others before us. I just think that we communicate differently . Brought in past centuries, horses have the letters between the scholars, they tried as much as possible to write a letter, since the transport of the letter was very expensive. Even the printing was expensive, but it was the most efficient way to write down a complete thought construct. And we tried all criticisms and contingencies already taken into account, because before you could react with a second work on his critics, would possibly take years.
we live today in an "attention economy . Information is transported to become virtually free. But this has led (you could see it as an irony of history) does not mean that people now send longer texts, but, strangely, always shorter. Why is that?

• Since the information transport is free, we do not get anymore "too little" too much information but rather much (spam / infinite number of texts / ideas from anywhere).

• The new cost factor or the lack of resource is, therefore, "time". There is so much information as possible to process in a short time.

• The reader can read with a good (pre) selection all the more of what really interests him.

• This calls for author to think, however, in the shortest possible formats and write.

• Shorter texts have a higher success rate than longer texts (of course only as far as the consolidation of the information does not slip away into the emptiness).

Short texts are perfect for the era of information overload. Any philosophical idea can be on two Din-A4 pages limit. Rather than install all sorts of criticisms in a long work in advance, I use the (possible thanks to the Internet) active debate to discuss with my readers / critics. This ping-pong game is here today partly within hours back and forth, leading to a refreshing discussion. Advantage: The reader can decide where in the argument he gets and where it ends. Also come together as soon a lot more ideas than with a solitary author in the famous lonely tower of science.

The most radical form of information dissemination and selection of news Twitter is currently with only 140 characters, which often contain a link for more info. " Again, the reader can always click on "more".


In this connection again to you the invitation: If you are interested in the topic of inner party democracy in Liquid feedback or the Pirate Party you get in touch. I am pleased with criticism / suggestions.
