How often do you find yourself getting caught up in a digital wormhole of different apps and websites where none are related to your task at hand? In this podcast, I look into how the increased used of mobile devices has impacted our abilities to stay focused. How do you think our attention spans will evolve as our use of mobile devices continue to develop?
Try your best to listen to the end!

What first caught my interest was the title. I often hear other teachers, parents and adults talk about students’ and children’s decreasing attention span. The thought had occurred to me that the increasing presence of technology and mobile technology could have something to do with it.
The format of this post, a Podcast, is what made me chose it. The author has thought provoking insights that are presented in an engaging way, as if she wanted to make sure to get the listener’s undevoted attention.
