The Week’s Big Question: Are We Living Faster—or Just Scrolling Faster?

Are We Living Faster—or Just Scrolling Faster

There was a time when “busy” meant you had places to be. Now it often means you had notifications to clear.

The strange thing about modern speed is that it rarely feels like momentum. It feels like churn: a constant stream of updates, opinions, clips, reactions, “takes”, and urgent headlines that do not improve your day, your work, or your understanding of the world. Information is everywhere, yet clarity feels rare.

This front page is designed for a different rhythm.

Not slower for the sake of slow. Just more useful.

The problem is not news. It is noise.

The internet turned every moment into a potential “story”. The result is not just overload, but distortion. When everything is framed as breaking, nothing is allowed to breathe long enough to be understood.

You see it in the way issues are discussed:

  • complex topics are reduced to two sides
  • emotional clips replace context
  • outrage travels faster than accuracy
  • the loudest voices dominate, regardless of expertise

That is not “being informed”. That is being pulled.

A better way to read the world

Being informed is not a volume game. It is a filtering skill.

A better approach looks like this:

  • What happened? (facts)
  • Why did it happen? (incentives, systems, constraints)
  • Who benefits and who pays? (impact, trade-offs)
  • What changes for you? (practical consequences)
  • What is worth remembering next week? (signal)

Most content fails at the last point. It is designed to spike your attention and then vanish. We are interested in the stories that still matter after the emotion fades.

What to expect on this site

This publication covers politics, technology, sport, fashion and food, but the tone is consistent:

  • Politics without fan clubs
  • Technology without hype
  • Sport without noise
  • Fashion without pretence
  • Food without the guilt culture

On weekdays, you will see concise “Daily Feed” pieces that are easy to read and easy to share. On weekends, you will get deeper features: the kind you save, think about, and return to.

A simple promise

We will not try to make you panic.

If something is truly important, it will stand up to a calm explanation. If it cannot survive context, it was probably not worth your attention.

So this week’s question is worth asking again:

Are we living faster… or just scrolling faster?

If you can answer that honestly, you are already ahead of the noise.
