PROGRAM NOTE
A recent news report revealed that the average adult attention span is now only nine seconds. Whoa! For comparison, in 1980, the average attention span was twenty minutes. Twenty minutes then; nine seconds now. That means you probably just stopped reading this program note. Because of the internet, we are conditioned to quickly jump from one thing to another. Just think – when was the last time you actually watched a Youtube video from start to finish? The report also stated that goldfish have a nine second attention span. This piece then is for all of us "digital goldfish."
