New Length Measurement standard
I am writing a paper today, and I obsessively keep checking the word count and character count. I do this mostly because the paper has to be a certain length (1500 words if you care).
As I was doing this I started to think of the idea of the length of a conversation and using SMS. Why don't we measure conversations and papers in how many SMS messages it is, because SMS is becoming the new way to communicate. No one calls anyone any more, and if we start thinking of papers in SMS lengths we would be able to understand truly how long it is.
I'm really not sure what I'm saying here, but it might be important in some cultural sense.
Ehh.
