The continuous, pulsating pulse of the digital era is what defines it. In the age of the infinite scroll, human attention spans have been reduced to mere seconds, and the struggle for relevance is a zero-sum game that is concurrently played out in high definition on twelve separate platforms. Millions of data points vie for our attention every second, displacing the old to make place for the louder, more contentious, and new. The collective awareness travels with the unpredictable pace of a hummingbird, and trends disappear as fast as they are born. However, the gears of this enormous, worldwide machine occasionally come to a standstill. The digital world, which is typically a din of voices shouting to be heard, just stops breathing when something happens that is so profound, so unexpected, and so emotionally resonant.
