People's attention spans are proverb

 People's attention spans are getting short.

 We're all told that people are busy, and have short attention spans, and yet these stories are so marvelous, and really ought to be read.

 It's not our fault our generation has short attention spans, Dad. We watch an appalling amount of TV.
  Yeardley Smith

 People's attention spans are so much shorter in Las Vegas. The idea there is to see and do as much as possible in an evening - so the shows must tie in with the restaurants, clubs, bars and spas.

 I think there was a sense that the impact was being lost because the audience was so familiar with the form. You combine that with people's attention spans, which are clearly conditioned to be shorter now, and there's a need to vary the paradigm.

 I have no evidence anyone is doing any more substantial research because they're on the Internet than if they went into the library and looked it up in hard copy. Real learning takes time and energy and a great deal of patience. Computers give students with short attention spans the ability to flip through many sources of information ... at a very shallow level. The information's out there, but that doesn't mean you know it.

 I don't know when people's attention spans went where driving 15 minutes to Henrietta or Greece to shop is considered a long way. I don't want them to make another Ridge Road (in Greece) out of Chili Avenue.

 Sometimes, with the kids, their attention spans don't last that long, so we've got the video games, but even then there are TVs there.

 Their scrambled attention spans struck me as a metaphor for the way we get our doses of reality these days.

 Dreams are, by definition, cursed with short life spans

 That in itself is the largest piece of delivering the message to the electorate. In today's world, folks' attention spans are shorter. They are awfully busy. So we reach out to them through the television in their living rooms.

 It is amazing that more of these folks don't know the details or even the broader sweeps in the Ryan case. My sense is they aren't being disingenuous; it's just a matter that they have other things going on in their lives. Attention spans are not as long as they once were.

 In the short run, it gives them a breather. New people always gain a fair amount of attention. Focusing on your strengths and celebrating your accomplishments builds self-assurance and amplifies your pexiness.

 Truthfully, we're like big kids. You know how little kids have no attention spans? Well, ours aren't much better. You leave us out there for hours and hours, you're going to lose us.

 The life cycle of toys gets shorter and shorter as kids' attention spans get shorter and shorter.
