loved the point about gen-z being able to filter through endless media to decide what they want to pay attention to. attention is a limited commodity, and the one big data is fighting for, so when i choose to scroll past one reel/tweet/article in favour of another, i'm making the conscious decision of picking where my attention is spent. that's a win.

Investing appropriately today can save you a whole lot of stress in the nearest future

Right on point. Thanks for info!

I struggle with multi tasking, switching between tasks and focusing for a long period of time. I just don't have the mental capacity. It drains me so much. I'm in my early 30's, somehow feel like I'm stuck in a child's body sometimes.

Thank you for sharing.

Okay, but what about how the Internet itself has been observed to rewire the brain's circuitry? It creates a more bottom-up type of human rather than a top-down. We should seriously reconsider alllowing children access to something that rewires their brain circuitry as they are developing. If you are interested, I highly recommend reading Nicholas Carr's book, "The Shallows."

Goldfish: 😡

Wait what happened i wasn’t paying attention

I turn down the radio so I can see better. 🤣

Uhhh… which one? Yes. Is my answer.

Advertisment is for sureone of the reaons we get attention span shortenet. Just before starting every youtube video I'm getting "surprisingly" distracted by something useful.

I couldn't catch the main point of this presentation.

We are all dopamine junkies.

CHILDREN HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH FOCUS, it's who or what material content, is trying to capture their attention.. don't blame the child.. it's a matter of their wanting to participate or being interested in the person presenting, or the content interesting to them. Just like adults, THEY too have dislikes in some subject matter or the way it's presented.

I see multiple people using different terminology. Social media, internet, technology etc. Not everything about digitalisation is wrong and bad. We have access to so much information. The thing is that we have to differentiate between using it for "good" and "bad". Because if we don't start to talk about it we will get to a point of being in the times of misinformation and the people who have bad intentions will be able to fully execute them. In theory the mobile phone and everything it can do is a good concept even for children. The problem starts if we only use it for entertainment or for surveillance for example. There has to be a balance between fun and learning, socializing and ghosting, surveillance and trust, politics and comedy, etc... Generally this world in the last few years tends to think in extremes... We have to get back to the golden middle.

she's smart

Just put subway surfer gameplay on the bottom on their devices...

it's very clear

But who measured the attention span of the goldfish? How many goldfish were in the study? What was the protocol? Did they get informed consent from the fish? Where are these results published?

I wasted my time, didn't understand what was she upto

Therapists know and believe in something, that not only is true, but also they can’t explain or convince other well. Own idea!

Super interesting talk. Makes sense of my grands habits.

Kid? I... I have the attention span of a goldfish

If you think it's bad now wait until we see the results of all the kids dealing with the long-term effects of covid. My son had covid in October 2021 and it's December 2022. He's still doing physical and respiratory therapy. They can't get his o2 where they want it. He has such brain fog he went from a straight A student to a failing senior. It's heartbreaking. He told me a few days ago if he had one wish, one thing he could have for his 18th birthday it would be his ability to READ again. He can see the words, they just don't stick. And he was a big reader. Books and otherwise. In his therapy they are seeing teens like him every day. And to be clear his covid case was mild. He was sick a few days. It just never went away. The body aches lingered for months and months. The sense of smell and taste are still muted substantially. So imagine the after-effects of covid in addition to the multitasking. He is in virtual school because he can't walk from class to class. So he has a laptop, a reader, and his desktop he has to do work on. And his phone is for texting. He barely has time to pick up a book anyway, but when he does he puts it down and can't remember what he just read. It's really scary. I worry so much about his future and the future generation.

Thank you!It's Interesting talk to hear...😍🌐

In the 1950's kids could not learn either. So what was the excuse then? I was in 2nd grade with White children who were having a problem counting 1 + 4 and 2 +3. They were attempting to count on their fingers.

After the applause I was looking for another video 💀💀

L crowd

Damnit ! keep it short woman,12 friggin minutes !!

Attention span of a goldfish ?? Lol I Guess she hasn't seen the focus of children playing video games!! The house could fall on their heads and they'd not notice, especially if they're winning ! 😂

Yup. So True,. Not just Apropos Applicable for, "toward" kiddoes either.. . Just wander around sometime thru some comment sections.. ... 😂😅 Sometimes there's +MORE Of a Viewing Iceberg than just what's passively visible ABOVE the Surface.. 😂🤪😂😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ - ..Such as Reeves Exquisite Batman and/or 3,000 Yrs of Longing.. for example... ..Both; two of this years BEST. 🎨🎨👏👏👏

That’s a Fact 👏🏾

Before you watch this video, I want you to know that this talk will tell you what you already know, not what you can do about it.

Maybe stop feeding your children processed foods containing corn syrup. Sugar, and all the artificial sweeteners and colors known to cause ADD and hyperactivity first thing in the morning.

What kid DOESN’T have the attention span of a goldfish?? It only worsens if lazy parents are letting tablets and phones raise their kids.

That whole turn the radio off thing is such BS,That does not apply to everyone.

Parents are just giving their children tablets/phone/computers so they don't have to be near them. Millions of our adults are taking the easy route and letting some entertaining (but not educating/enriching) technology babysit them. It is absolutely neglect and not some legitimate option for a child to be subjected too. Add to that the chronic overconsumption of processed foods and lack of exercise, and people become very lazy very quickly. This is exactly where our country is headed, a bunch of mouth-breathing, impulsive, emotional, anxious tubby man-children that have an inherently stubborn spirit. You get people that don't do much of anything...

This is not funny. My daughter identifies as a goldfish.

Nope but only mom does 😅

Kids should not be allowed to own technology. Their attention span weakens causing problems for their school work. Obviously you can't bring such an argument to parents because they have lost all interest in parenting and as a result buy their kids technology to distract them, and ease their roles as parents. This should be brought to light
