Fast Entertainment and Multitasking in an Always-on World

1.  In my opinion, the term "fast entertaining" means easy and convenient entertain. In short, It means that people can be entertained everywhere and in a short amount of time. Today, we have a lot of devices to access to the entertaining sources such as Ipod, smart phones, tablets that is associated with high speed internet such as 3G and 4G that allow user to download or stream to videos, musics, clips, and website in a blind of an eye. It is, in fact, fast as its mean. The term " snack culture" means that people spending more time for entertaining because entertaining time is also relaxing time back in a few decade ago when people eat snack while watching television. However, nowadays, we don't have to sit in a particular place to get entertain, it is snack time whenever we want it to be because we can get entertain wherever and whenever we want.
2. Watkins means by saying" in the digital media age, more equals less" is that people watch more video, but the length of each video is short. Therefore, the information that people consume is less then what they actually spend for their time. In the digital media age, the more entertaining program that people consume, the less specific information they get.
