Just like the new "samples" tab in YouTube music. A whole new tab, just to show 10 sec versions of music clips.
It seems that in a few generations, the average attention span will consist of milliseconds.
Maybe this generation has already evolved in a way that their brains are able to process the amount of information we are confronted with daily.
This could be our next step in evolution: our brains learn to handle information unconsciously, they grow even bigger over generations, archiving tons of data, we haven't even looked at yet - but can look into, if required.
For sure, constant instant rewarding mechanisms and not practising delayed rewarding in no way whatsoever will do great.
