This is my favorite point in this article: In addition, the rate at which information is created and shared, dictates the rate at which it is consumed. This encourages a shallow culture that skims, snips, and divides content into small “digestible” pieces that lack depth, all while utilizing technology as a creative crutch to create said content. I think it well-illustrates this hole we've dug for ourselves and makes it clear that it's pretty hard to get out of. Personally, I'm not really sure how to increase my attention span. I think a big part might be allowing my "queue" of emails and phone notifications to grow and only check my phone at designated periods in the day, e.g. 30 minutes after waking, after the stand up meeting, at noon, at a coffee break at 3 p.m., after getting home, after dinner. That way, at least, it's checking the phone maybe ten times a day, as opposed to 80 or more. I wonder if there are apps that can suppress notifications (using Android administrator API?) until specific time periods.
