E-Media Tidbits

I ran across this brief couplet upon perusing "The Norton Book of Light Verse" with my son, who needed a short poem for something he is doing in school. It's a nice comment on the current media environment, and the explosion in volume, at least, of content and brands. It's by 17th-century physician and poet Samuel Garth, and it goes like this:

"What frenzy has of late posssess'd the brain
Though few can write, yet fewer can refrain."

Would that some people would heed those words.
