Maggie Jackson quotes Sven Birkerts:

Inundated by perspectives, by lateral vistas of information that stretch endlessly in every direction, we no longer accept the possibility of assembling a complete picture…We are experiencing in our time a loss of depth – a loss, that is, of the very paradigm of depth.

-Maggie Jackson, Distracted: The Erosion of Attention and the Coming Dark Age, p. 42

If you stretch the ocean out far enough it eventually becomes shallow. If that is what we are doing via technology, it should be no surprise that our thinking should follow suit. Cue Portlandia’s portrayal of the Hipster version of depth HERE.
