Ezra, Coldplay and Being Reduced to a Ditty

Is the world being reduced to a ditty? We text, DM, and we're limited by a certain amount of characters on Twitter. We can post a sixty second video on Instagram. How much time do you have to get someone's attention? We can only "like" a post. We can comment but how long do we have to wait until someone responds to our comment? Today on the Spiritual Spiral Podcast, I talk about how tech is impacting the creative process. I wonder if we're being reduced to a fragment of our fullest potential thanks to social media. I talk about the idea of how writing a little ditty is relatively easy compared to writing a book or writing a song. The world has an influx of little ditty's, but seriously lacks quality and depth of material. I play a clip from the Ezra Klein show where Ezra sits down and talks with Yauncey Strikcler, the co-founder of Kickstarter. Yauncey shares his struggles with social media and I also share a quick story about creating my own ditty and why I don't think the latest Coldplay record is very good. If you dig the show, please remember to share it with your friends or head on over to iTunes and write a quick review.
