If people’s #attentionspan is so sort nowadays, how do they manage to listen to so many #podcasts, which seem, on average, to be about 246 minutes long?

Are Long Narratives Becoming Harder to Follow?

Dr. Randolph R. Lewis discusses how social media is shaping shorter attention spans and changing how students approach films and reading. In the full episode we explore his book Bummerland and what it says about technology, politics, and culture today.

I've noticed that whenever I post anything over 100 words, up to half a dozen followers go away (though if boosts occur, then departures and arrivals mostly cancel out). My choice of topic doesn't even make a difference.

Still, I try to write at least 100 words per post semi-regularly, to help me avoid becoming a lazy or superficial communicator. Accordingly, I now declare that I'm developing a new post that'll greatly exceed 100 words.

If that distresses—up to half a dozen of—you, then feel free to leave at this time.

Just want to warn you.

I guess my #Music app's #algorithm finally calculated the exact length of my musical #AttentionSpan.

Sigh.
Sometimes I have the attention span of #GenAlpha (although beeing #GenX).
Actually, I wanted to answer an email, but then another email popped up with a headphones test and I almost clicked it... but I have to write this email first! Then I though "this would be a nice toot" and had to look up a word and the myth of the #AttentionSpan of goldfishes and then I found me reading about whistling frogs with #StarTrek captains names on Madagaskar...
And the email still needs to be written...
