— Internet age really DOES mean we get bored more easily and have shorter attention spans, study finds. Our need to keep up to date is beginning to overwhelm our brains, experts say.

The findings don’t necessarily mean our individual attention spans are shorter. – TIM COLLINS (DIERSEN: One of the many reasons why people read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails is that virtually all the articles that are linked in the emails are less than 12 hours old.)
