The loss of the attention span

Submitted Jan 13, 2016

Technical level: Beginner

To make people aware of the loss of the attention span in this age of an abundance of information and very little knowledge.

Outline

I will speak in extenso on the shrinking attention span in the social media generation which is all encompassing. Some subjects that I plan to touch upon are the ‘hyperbolic seige,’ the ‘adjectivisation of conversation’ and the ‘wikipedisation of knowledge.’

Requirements

Open ears and open minds!

Speaker bio

I am a musician by day and night and a student of economics and law.
