I was hanging around with a friend last night, poking about on the internet (the fact that surfing the net is social activity...can of worms I'm not going to tackle at the moment), and found a youtube video someone had linked to. Nothing particularly profound or interesting, an upload of a music* video, about 4 minutes long. The song was repetitive and the concept behind the video revealed itself very quickly, and I soon lost interest. My friend made a comment about short attention span.

I don't know if it's that I never really "got in to" to the whole music videos thing, or that as part of the post-mtv generation, my attention cannot be held by even the shortest of sustained stimuli.
