Hillary Clinton Laments Tech-Induced Limited Attention Spans
Posted: October 15, 2014 at 7:48 am
Hillary Clintonhas been working hard to court Silicon Valley, but like many people, shes troubled by our harried, hyper-connected world.
During a keynote speech on Tuesday that was largely about philanthropy and efforts to encourage children to read, she talked about how the U.S. was becoming more politically divided. Americans have become less racist, sexist, and homophobic than ever, she said, but when it comes to politics, they dont want to talk to people who disagree with them. The technological climate has only made that worse, she said onstage at Dreamforce, an annual conference sponsored by Salesforce.com.
We have technological changes that have imposed an almost impulsive reactive challenge to decision-making, she said.
Clinton said that it was becoming harder to build relationships political and otherwise in an age of limited attention spans. (She declined to answer a question about her own political ambitions.)
Dreamforce is a sprawling summit that shuts down San Franciscos downtown. In addition to Clinton, the conference featured well-known speakers, including spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle and a benefit concert by singer Bruno Mars.
Clinton in her keynote touted her project Too Small to Fail, launched earlier this year through the Clinton Global Initiative. The effort encourages parents to read, talk, and sing to their infants to close the word gap between wealthy and affluent children. UCSF Benioff Childrens Hospital Oakland, named for Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff, is a partner in the effort.
Mr. Benioff donated $25,000 to Clintons SuperPAC, Ready for Hillary.
