The shrinking attention span thing is something I have thought about  lately. 
When I first started giving talks, the time slot was one hour. Then  
conferences were reducing the speakers to 45 minutes. Right now I am doing a  series 
of 30 minutes talks at work geared so that people can leave work, munch  and 
learn, then be back at the office- all in one hour. About a month ago  though, a 
church group wanted a speaker for their evening meeting - could I do  great 
shrubs for all year color - in 15 minutes with 5 minutes for questions!!!! 
So either the attentions are short, or more likely, people are rushing  
through life filling it with way to many things.
