Humans have shorter attention span than goldfish, thanks to smartphones. Cut by 1/3 in 12 years

A Microsoft study highlights the deteriorating attention span of humans, saying it has fallen from 12 seconds in 2000 to eight seconds





























This Instagram photo shows a man missing a humpback whale surface two feet away from him because he was glued to his phone. The moment was caught during a whale watch in Redondo Beach, California, professional photographer Eric Smith told ABC News today. Smith said he had about five photos of whales with the private sailboat in the background, but the guy never got off his phone in any of the pictures.
Are you so distracted by your smartphone that you struggle to concentrate and miss out on things? Photo: @esmith_images/Instagram​
