In a recent article, the author argues that the current model of the internet is one that values efficiency and speed above all else, resulting in a world where information is constantly moving but very little is truly understood. This model is based on the idea that the internet is simply a tool for information dissemination, rather than a space for contemplation and meaning-making. To counteract this trend, the author suggests a shift towards a more "mindful" internet that prioritizes depth and reflection over speed and efficiency. What is the most likely reason why the author uses the phrase "mindful" internet?
