Me, You, Paris And The Louvre Too

So we all know the longing for the airport experience again since life drastically changed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Even though all my travel plans this year (and until further notice) have been canceled, I was fortunate to have been able to take a dream trip last year to Paris.

In the age of Vine, Snapchat and Instagram where video content has been distilled to a 15 second maximum, can the general public’s attention span be captured by longer narrative content?
