The Long Tail SmarterComics

This sample comic shows the contrast between life in the 70's and 80's versus life today. The examples are how a teen would occupy his or her free time back then against today's. Back then movies, music, and television were very popular as are today, however back then singles, albums, shows and movies all had exceptionally high ratings. Since today's world a teenager can access over 200 channels, download music and movies for free and share instantly with his or her friends, the attention span of today's youth has greatly diminished in comparison from those of the past few decades. The Long Tail is the title of this comic that shows great uniqueness between past and present.

  1. I can say that your statement about the attention span of today's youth diminshing, is so true. With today's technology kids are able to surf the internet and next thing you know they are playing a video game. Most kids can't even sit still long enough to listen to someone read them a short passage.
