attention spans than in the past.

This

may be

due to

many reasons but I will be highlighting the main ones in

this

essay. With the advance in technology, gadgets

such

as tablets and computers have become a common item in every household.

Therefore

, with the development of apps and games, most

parents

allow access to them as it gives

parents

a way to keep

busy.

, these games are designed to give users quick bursts of dopamine which cause

children

,

as well as

adults, to be occupied for short game sessions.

For example

, flappy bird was a famous game which relied on users to tap the screen at the correct

time

which varied constantly but not exceeding more than a second.

this

parents

to set specific tasks

and be able to increase their attention span. In conclusion, being able to stay focused is a problem for many

share

this

issue but do not appear to fully understand why. With the solutions proposed, there might be hope for future generations to have increased attention spans.
