8/9

People are becoming more and more insensitive amid the turbid sea of information and they have easy access to information. Though art is now declining, can it appeal to people?

The volume of information people are exposed to

The difference between supply and consumption of information keeps on widening, so the means of access are important. "The volume of information produced in these past 30 years is larger than that in the 5,000 years before that. Everyday approximately 1,000 books are published in the world, and the volume of printed knowledge has doubled evert 8 years." -Peter Large "The Micro Revolution Repeated"

Are people more and more insensitive?
People tend to want to have easy access to culture.
