[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This absolutely cracks me up.

You're mad that the next generation has short attention spans, but have you ever stopped to consider that they're absorbing 1000x more information during the time in which it took you to finish your long and drawn out sentence?

Instructional design has yet to catch up and I'm guessing OP hasn't either. Nobody has time for a lecture that's a second longer than it needs to be.

These new generations have evolved to be more efficient and have perfected the ability to breakdown subject matter into bite sized pieces.

If it's not that, they don't want it...can you blame them? Time is the hottest commodity and Gen Z and Gen Alpha is all about protecting their time and being the most efficient with it. [/quote]

This is patently absurd.  You cannot digest a complex topic like medical school anatomy, quantum physics, or thermodynamics in bite sized 2 second clips.  Humans have not magically become smarter over the course of 50 years because of the invention of the internet and 2 second video clips.  Students these days get frustrated because they’re sometimes required to spend more than 2 minutes thinking about something since their brains have been fried with 15 years of toxic social media use.

It’s sounds like you are trying to make excuses for the dumbing down of society.  ‘Bite sized pieces’…..lol. [/quote]
