One in the World of 8 Billion

Image. Title. First Sentence.

If you made it this far, chances are you are curious as to what this all going to be about.

A lazy title, a stock image, it all points to signs of... Well not a writer.

By now, if you are still here, you have decided to find out more on what this going to be about.

It really does take us a few seconds to decide to do that.

You either read the title or saw the image. It depends on what struck first or what kind of person you are. Do you judge a book by it's cover or title? Everyone does it...

In a sea of books, in the digital space where having more books in your phone than what may fit in your room is possible, something must have stood out for you to get this far.

Was it the image or the title?

But that's not the only aspect to judge a book. You want to check the first sentence written on it, whether it's a description or text on the cover. That's probably the third aspect of any book you may check before deciding to check it out.

So what is everyone trying to do?

Fight for your time.

That is the change in dynamics ever since we hit the very technologically reliant world.

How much time do you spend on your device? How much time on WhatsApp? How much time on any social media?

What do you usually do there?

Everyone wants you to use their application, product or feature - you name it.

So it is no longer about the lack of availability of material, it is now a lack of time to fully grasp everything.

And the war for your time begins.

New features, updates, scandals, click baits etc. are all strategies employed to gain as much of your attention aka time.

So time is money... But money for who?

And how easily do we offer our time? That is something to think about when you are unable to fall asleep :)

Just one thought in a world of 8 Billion.
