scientists recently given the terrible news that as a result of recent earthquakes occurred in the South American continent, the days are shortened, two-thousandths. These were bad news for me because now I have even less time to update.
Keeping up is a very important activity for the citizens of the twenty-first century. And nothing is more important than keeping up with entertainment. But this is not exactly easy.
Consider the world of film, for example. It is estimated that each year there are 5.000 films worldwide. If we calculate that the average duration of a film is 90 minutes, that means that in order to see all This year's films in a span of 365 days, would have to spend 20 hours a day on it, which would leave us exactly four hours a day to eat and sleep before starting over.
And if we add the hundreds of thousands of TV episodes, plays, books and magazines into circulation each year, we are talking about millions of hours of entertainment that can not absorb even more eyes taking a fly .
addition, entertainment is like pork ribs: it takes time to digest properly. The books call for relaxed reading, for the brain to produce mental images that the author wants to build. Film and television require a semiotic and narrative analysis to examine all the evidence and stories shown on the screen. Due to the large amount of time needed to unravel each piece of entertainment, forget to focus on the quantity and quality. But how to choose the best? To the rescue come
entertainment critics who devote their time to experience books, movies and television so we do not have to. It is thanks to them that instead of having to see the 5,000 films a year, know that only about 100 are worth seeing.
The problem is that I have not managed to get paid for reading books, watching TV or movies, so I have to do miracles with my free time I have left. That means that, hopefully through a magazine every two days, see a movie a week, I read a book every three months and watch TV when I can. At that rate, calculated to catch up with my earrings circa 3026.
That, if no other earthquake us decide on even shorter.
