Field Note · 04 / 18

Forty-seven seconds

In 2004, the median focus on a single screen was two and a half minutes. Today it is 47 seconds.

Human attention did not break in twenty years. The environment changed — the screen was redesigned for interruption, and we live on it.

Which is quietly good news: an environmental problem has environmental fixes. Close the unresolved. Work in a smaller room.
