Content creator and trainer in audiovisual techniques and narratives Marta Fernández believes that the person who invented thescroll –swiping up, down, or sideways with a finger on a screen to see more content– is something he regrets. This technique, which allows users to view a large amount of content in a short time, has affected citizens' attention spans, which are now "very short because we've become accustomed to endless consumption," according to Fernández. "We're not even capable of reading a book," he laments.

In recent days, a video recorded by a resident of the Arenal neighborhood of Llucmajor has gone viral. It shows an attempted robbery of a tourist walking along the sidewalk. The footage clearly shows a man approaching another man from behind and attempting to steal something from his backpack. After failing in this attempt, he then attempts to steal something from his pants pocket.
