Short attention span disorder. Everyone gets it after a year of blogging. Say I write a 6 cm long/thick paragraph, which I'm about to do now, you either read through each and every word to prove my theory wrong, or your eyes would just skim through and end up reading the next sentence after reading "a 6cm long/thick paragraph". Hello again, I'm glad I still hev your undivided attention. Yes, that spelling mistake was deliberate. I bet you didn't spot it when you were skimming through this. You did? Never mind then, this is where the paragraph form ends and point form begins.
What I don't like about writing in point form
-you can't go ahead and elaborate as much as you want
-it encourages short attention span disorder
-readers get free will to expand points in their minds
-it's easier to spot speling mistakes
-In fact, Friedrich Nietzsche began using point form after he bought his first typewriter. He got a typewriter because his eyesight got really bad, so it was easier to memorize the qwerty format of the keyboard than write it out. But his post point-form work was not as celebrated as his pre-point form work. See what I did? I made a paragraph in point form.
-Nietzsche then (only after using a typewriter) realized he was slowly beginning to skim through articles.
-You see, the internet gives you information on demand, so your brain has adjusted to receiving data in simplified packets.
-That means the more time you spend on wikipedia, contrary to what you might think, the less you are exercising your brain.
-why?
-because your brain isn't thinking, it's receiving.
-not the good kind of recieving,
-the bad kind
-surprisingly this is a very Asian way of thinking.
-Asians and Asian education systems tend to focus on memorization instead of comprehension. A simple formula like E=m(c x c) (forgive me, i've no time to superscript), is simply used in the same simple question over and over again.
-Not just that, Asian schools(this is applied in Japan, China, India, and most ASEAN countries) encourage memorization and basic understanding of things.
-This discourages creative thinking
-This is bad.
-This is proven(skema jawapan)
-Subjective questions and essay questions are supposed to be subjective to each student, instead, all I see is a marking scheme set
-Are you still reading?
-Good.
-I thought I lost you at "typewriter"
-I need to get a life don't I?
