[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every generation writes this about the subsequence going back to ancient Greece. There's never any truth to it.[/quote] Attention span have been decreasing over time. There are many ways to see this, beyond anecdotal stories that you can ignore. Take a look at movies by decade, they used to be slower. Take a look at books by decade and century. Sentences used to be longer, books used to read slower and are more fast paced now, read more quickly now. Students read excerpts in class now rather than books, not to save money but because they cannot read a whole book anymore. Etc. Maybe there are tradeoffs, benefits no fast switching to offset the loss of attention. Maybe? Or maybe we're just destroying ourselves.[/quote]
