Faster! Louder! Brighter! How the attention economy overwhelmed children’s TV

更快！更響！更炫！注意力經濟如何全面摧毀並重塑了兒童電視節目

When media moves too quickly, the layers of experience collapse into one another. A child may laugh at someone slipping on a banana peel but imitate only the visible silliness, missing the anticipation and reversal that make the joke work. A character may comfort a friend, but if the scene moves on too quickly, the child has little time to recognise the repair, or imagine doing the same in the kindergarten room. To develop empathy in the early years, a child must notice that another person feels something different. That small act of crossing over takes time.
