The Decline of Attention Spans Dr. Gloria Mark has been studying the declining attention span of adults for 20 years.  In the study, they measured how long an adult would stay on a particular task, in 2004 the average time was about 150 seconds. By 2012, the focused attention time was cut in half to 75 seconds. By 2020, the time was down to an average of 47 seconds. James Emery White, a pastor, author, and cultural commentator who studies trends affecting faith and the church, writes, “Whatever it is we are attempting to convey, much less explain, will need to be communicated more frequently in shorter bursts of ‘snackable content’ because members of Generation Z are the ‘ultimate consumers of snack media.’” We may enjoy the bite-sized information that social media gives us. However, the most important parts of our lives and especially our personal faith will take concentrated times of focus.  Don’t snack-feed your faith.   Share this daily - reading. Thanks Karl Faase.
