What can we do about our diminishing attention spans?
About this episode
Studies show that our attention spans are shrinking. Dr. Gloria Mark tells CNN that in 2004, they measured the average attention on a screen to be 2½ minutes. She says years later they have found that people can only pay attention to one screen for an average of 47 seconds. Gen Z will only give a video 1.3 seconds before judging if they will continue to watch. What can we do to address these changes, and can we get our attention spans back?
