But as time passes, values change, become outdated, or even pose a danger to current social norms. This creates friction. On the one hand, you have people who believe that society should be aware of its history, including all the elating ups and uncomfortable downs. Denying that history would mean repeating it in the future. On the other hand, some members of society believe that as times change, so should the statues, art, symbols, and icons that are present around us.

The need for clarity and simplicity in internet posts is only bound to increase as time goes on. CNN reports how people’s attention spans have taken a nosedive over the past two decades. “In 2004, we measured the average attention on a screen to be 2½ minutes. Some years later, we found attention spans to be about 75 seconds. Now we find people can only pay attention to one screen for an average of 47 seconds,” Dr. Gloria Mark, from the University of California, Irvine, explains.

Dr. Mark’s research has shown that people these days spend less than a minute concentrating on one screen at a time. That means that many of us are constantly jumping between different appliances. The issue here isn’t just related to our spare time and entertainment, however. When it comes to work, we’re not much better.

According to the researcher, it takes us around 25 minutes to refocus on the task that we were doing if we were distracted. “If we look at work in terms of switching projects, as opposed to the micro view of switching screens, we find people spend about 10½ minutes in any work project before being interrupted—internally or by someone else—and then switch to another work project,” Dr. Mark told CNN. We then spend nearly half an hour jumping between various tasks until we get back to the original one.
