There is a Number theory group at
Linked In that has grown to 13000 members
in a short space of a few years,
while at the same time posts here in sci.fractals
has decreased to nearly null.
Since my fractals self-similarity Google+
group is growing at nearly the same rate as my
parallel number theory group,
the reason doesn't appear to be about interest in the subject.
"Intellectual Fashion" maybe...
Can people get these use groups/ Google groups
on their apple/ ipad/ cell phones?
Maybe it is attention span and teachers in schools
not knowing about these free access discussion groups?
I left sci.math alone because it seemed to attack oriented
and destructive instead of educational.
Everything on the web seems to be timed
to only a few years and then, it is used up or gone?
In my old age I have come to realize not everything that is "new" is actually better than what came before.
Much of the new stuff is created to be "marketed"
so someone can make a big profit.
But math and in this case "fractals"
are fundamental and not going away long term.
