Possible reading

'Amusing ourselves to death' Neil Postman-
attention span of humans was much longer years ago, the specific example used: Lincoln Douglas debates of 1800 which were read from paper used to last for 8-10 hours and people stayed, listened and paid attention. 

'Complete guide to public speaking' Jeff Davidson-
attention span is about 7 minutes.
"People's attention spans are decreasing to all time lows. If you're in front of a group and you don't have something humourous to say at least once every seven minutes you are going to have a tough time"
