Tolle PoetrySlam von zehn jungen Menschen ... das meistbesprochene Thema war 🥁 toxische Männlichkeit und das fucking Patriarchat! Wow. 👍🏼GenZ on Fire! 🔥 Ich bin begeistert! 😄

👉🏼Die nächsten Termine für U20 PoetrySlam im Podewill sind am 27.3. und am 17.4.26 (Open Stage). ✊🏽

21 lipca, 25 urodziny... Jakim cudem do tego doszło? Nie wiem... Po prostu wyszło...

Cóż, mogę tylko żyć, bo i tak na wiele nie liczę, wszyscy w moim wieku mają swój dom, pracę i tego typu, ja mam orzeczenie...

Nie każdemu jest dane coś co dla każdego wydaje się czymś nieuniknionym... Życie jednak trwa nadal i cóż, nim się obejrzę, będę mieć 90...

"In a world of four-second attention spans, you are no longer competing for a share of the wallet—you are battling for a share of the moment. Stop selling products and start engineering experiences." – Futurist Jim Carroll

We have officially entered the "Attention Recession."

With that in mind, I prepared a proposal for a client by preparing a full 35-page PDF outlining the nature of the issue - 10 trends, 10 bold ideas, and 10 action plans they could pursue right now. Give it a look!

The numbers are staggering. We are seeing a complete collapse in how long people are willing to focus, particularly if they are dealing with a purchase. There's something we can call "time to clarity", and it's collapsing. Gen Z now averages an attention span of just 6.5 seconds. For pre-teens? It drops to a mere 4.2 seconds.

That's how long it takes someone to look at something, come to understand it, and make a decision.

Think about that. You have four seconds.

In that fleeting blink of an eye, a consumer is scanning 12 feet of shelf space. On your web site, they are giving you less time than they give to a short TikTok video. If they can't understand you, value you, or desire you in that window, you don't exist.

You aren't just losing a sale; you are becoming invisible.

This isn't just a marketing challenge; it's a fundamental shift in the customer relationship.

In a linear world, we sold products. In an exponential world, the product is secondary to the moment.

The retailers and brands that will thrive in 2026 and beyond aren't the ones with the best inventory; they are the ones who transform a "transaction" into a "discovery." They understand that in an attention-starved marketplace, experience is the only competitive advantage that cannot be scrolled past.

If you are still trying to sell a product to a mind that has already moved on, you are fighting a losing battle. You might want to look at the deck

You need to stop the clock. You need to engineer the moment. Moments that are collapsing.

Because if you don't own the experience, you don't own the future.

If Mexican is a religion, then holy guacamole!🙏🥑

The older we get, the more rigid we become, less open to new ideas and people. We could all learn a thing or two from the younger generation, maybe not about religions😂 , but about acceptance.

und dies auch im Erwachsenenalter bleibt. Die Fakten dokumentieren eine gesellschaftliche Realität, in der transgeschlechtliche Jugendliche ein integraler und beständiger Teil der Bevölkerungsstruktur sind. Quellen: Gallup (2026), LGBTQ+ identification holds at 9% in U.S.; Williams Institute (2025), How many adults and youth identify as transgender in the United States?

One of the #GenZ lasses wanted to try out the dial #telephone - to be fair she worked it out on the second try - only issue was she was unused to waiting for proceed (dial) tone and then having to dial the number without leaving too much of a gap between the digits - and then incomplete contents of register being sent to the PBX and NU tone being returned (a lot of younger people have never heard this tone).

She did only try the 3 digit extension numbers (not as much fun dialling an entire UK number with 9 escape digit, area code *and* the number - in 1990s folk often had to write down the telephone number before calling it as dial phones and pulse dialling were still common in Britain until mid 1990s)

Früher (tm) griffen wir zum Telefon und riefen einander an.
Unverabredet, spontan.

Also damals, als es weder mobile Telefone, und schon gar keine "smarten" Phones gab.

Wann - und wodurch!? - hat es eigentlich begonnen, dass anscheinend viele (insbesondere junge) Menschen geradezu eine Phobie gegen ein läutendes Smartphone entwickelt haben?

(Ja, mir ist durchaus bewusst, dass auch "damals" nicht alle begeistert waren, wenn "einfach so" ihr kabelgebundenes Telefon geklingelt hat, darum geht es mir nicht, sondern um das "Massenphänomen", wenn es heißt, dass die jungen Generationen nicht mehr gern telefonieren.)

Und wie wirkt sich das auf ihr Berufsleben aus, wo ja mitunter doch ab und zu - auch spontan - mal telefoniert werden, bzw. ein Telefonat angenommen werden *muss*?

Deshalb mal meine Frage an die Generation U30:
Telefonierst du gern?
