The Explainer Series: Attention span
Advertisement
In an age of endless notifications, short-form content, and algorithmically curated feeds, are we losing our ability to focus? Or are our brains simply adapting to a new kind of information landscape? This session will explore what social media is doing to our attention spans, how platforms shape the way we consume and process information, and what it all means for our mental health, civic engagement and the next generation.
There’s no spin and no hype at The Explainer Series conversations. Just experts helping us think more clearly about the world around us.
