As I was surfing the web today, I copied the following quote and forgot where I found it.
“According to a study done by Microsoft this year, it was determined that the average human attention span is 8 seconds.
It’s gone from 12 seconds, which was reported in 2000, to 8 seconds in which you have to grab your prospect’s attention.”
I have noticed that I don’t read on-line articles or blog posts if they are longer than a couple paragraphs unless the information is a class I’m taking. My new habit is to skim or read the first sentence in each paragraph and then move on.
I think my 8 seconds is up for this post. See you tomorrow.
