You Now Have a Shorter Attention Span Than a Goldfish
« on: July 03, 2015, 12:46:55 AM »
Humans have shorter attention span than goldfish, thanks to smartphones

A Microsoft study highlights the deteriorating attention span of humans, saying it has fallen from 12 seconds in 2000 to eight seconds

 The average human's attention span is... oh look, a bird!

According to scientists, the age of smartphones has left humans with such a short attention span even a goldfish can hold a thought for longer.

Researchers surveyed 2,000 participants in Canada and studied the brain activity of 112 others using electroencephalograms.

The results showed the average human attention span has fallen from 12 seconds in 2000, or around the time the mobile revolution began, to eight seconds.

Goldfish, meanwhile, are believed to have an attention span of nine seconds.

One of the best insults I ever witnessed was between two guys installing baseboard.  Guy says to the kid, "Go cut 3018mm."

"Ok."  Kid leaves the room, goes to the saw, then returns to the room.  "What was the number?"

"3018."

"Right."  Kid leaves.

Comes back in again.

"Sorry.  What was it?"

"WHAT A FUCKING GOLDFISH!"



Been waiting to use it ever since.
