When they started the study in 2004, the average attention span was 150 seconds. When they concluded in 2012, it had reduced to 75 — a 50% reduction in merely eight years. A researcher from the study recently concluded that the average attention span has fallen to 47 seconds.
Another survey found that people lose concentration after only eight seconds. The primary blame for this sorry situation has fallen on the internet and devices, but that's only a secondary reason.
The prime reason is the effect of Kali Yug. About five thousand years ago, the world entered Kali Yug. A characteristic of this age, mentioned in shastras, is feeble intellect, memory and attention span, progressively worsening as we pass through this yug, era.
This has profound consequences for many activities, including education. The shastras that predicted these challenges have also given us the antidote, which is simple yet powerful. The answer lies in mindful chanting of the Divine name.
