What are we doing to our attention span?

Internet:

Search engines take us to the answer we want immediately.

With ability to open as many windows as we want we can skip between them as quickly and often as we want.

With knowing what warning messages, computer instructions etc are probably going to say because we have read them all before, we feel able to skip through it all without really paying attention to it.

TV:


If you grow up watching a lot of hours of TV a day, everything is presented to you in about 12 minute chunks- you'll be conditioned into only having to concentrate for that long.
