I took one look at the website and I quickly closed it. My attention span is very small. I think that the developers are attempting at a good cause, but those regularly surf the internet are naturally used to short attention span related things. Youtube is clearly a website where people with short attention span are attracted to go to. The whole internet is basically catored around those who have a short attention span. Suddenly, the developers of bigthink.com attempt something so unorthodox. I personally doubt that this will ever catch on. I believe that only a very small minority of people that use the internet would be attracted to participate in such discussion. These discussions simply do not keep me interested long enough, to come back and continue talking about other issues.

Later, I attempted to read a couple of the discussion topics on bigthink.com. The website is just not quite made for teenagers who feel the need to discuss these topics. Like, honestly, who wants to go onto a website to discuss about poverty; this happens at school enough already. No one would want to go home, surf the internet, and discuss about world issues. Teenagers nowadays, are just more interested in watching hilarious/stupid videos of other people on the internet.

I tried an hour later again. No luck once again. bigthink.com does not have what it takes to capture my attention. The topics aren't even a bit interesting or more attracting to the average. Talking about politics over the internet.. who does that? There are way better things such as watching hilarious videos on youtube.
