[Stylist] Attention spans

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed their attention spans for reading books are shorter with the increasing use of the Internet and social media?
I find that mine seems to have declined over the years. When I was really young, Braille book and digital book availability were very limited, and I literally read whatever I could get my finger on. 
Now I find that, with books where I feel the plot is slow-moving, I am quick to move on. I need to be captivated by the first few sentences in a short story (well, ideally, the first sentence) to get engrossed by it.
There's also the fact that you no longer need to read a very large book to learn about an event in history: you can now just take a very brief (and definitely less deep) trivia quiz on it.
I'm curious to hear others' thoughts on this!
