Short & Sweet


The average attention span has decreased with the rise of technology - we hear this over and over again in the PR world. It's hard to focus solely on one screen. People don't just watch TV, they watch TV with a computer on their lap and a phone in hand. It's rare that people use one screen independently of the others.
