Ten Thousand Posts How to Fix Your Attention Sp- ft. Rebecca Jennings
Rebecca returns to the show to talk about her recent attempts to reclaim her attention from screens and notifications, and whether it’s truly possible to build an attention span at all.
We discuss the developing literature and research around attention, and what is meant when we talk about focus, delve into the great debate on declining literacy rates & whether we are heading toward a ‘post-literate’ society, and whether the small, but growing number of people trying to better manage their time online might be an effective starting point to challenge the algorithms.
