More or less words?

People are lazy. Nobody would love to read a lengthy passage. Since the world is moving fast, people want to get the information they want fastly and precisely.

For many media in Hong Kong, they understand their readers don’t like words. Most newspapers and magazines are now trying to reduce their words as much as possible. They would choose to illustrate in graphics rather than words.

But in some other country, like US, the magazine are still full of words. For example, like PC Magazine, usually review new products with thousands of words, while in Hong Kong, you will just see two short paragraph with a lot of product photos.

Also, in mainland websites, the site also covered with full of words. You can click Sina China and see how it look like. This site obviously got too much words, which makes people hardly to read anything and away from the site.

Some people would argue that the information got to be in more detail, but some would say they just want the information precisely. Time is precious.

So, what is your choice?
