Some stuff just cant be handled in little chunks, I like epics. The
temptation to talk of legendary lower attention span in certain
nations is almost too much to resist, but I will try.
Or do a combination. There is the video of lecture series 'Everything
I Know' by R Buckminster Fuller available free online, I believe it is
42 hours long. But it is also broken down into many hundreds of
shorter clips.
Anyway there is no right or wrong, people differ, and generally I
think anybody could be captivated for longer periods of time IF the
content kept them captivated. Still its hard to create captivating
epics, so its more likely people would watch longer stuff thats on a
specific theme thats of special interest to them.
To say whether the video in question should be 28 minutes or not, well
I could not say without seeing it first.
