3 Seconds Attention Span Post Readers.
Nov 17th, 2024 at 11:57pm
 
     I have a website I have previously encouraged post readers to visit. The site is deepthought101.simplesite.com

      Two years ago the site changed ownership, now held by “one.com”. The site has a statistic page showing periods of up to 1 year of website visitor readers. The website statistics are interesting to me and I suspect to other posters.

     Statistics show world wide readers over 12 month period was 3,345 readers. Time spent reading my website:
1-60 seconds … 99.05%
1-10 minutes … 00.80%
10-30 minutes … 00.12%
30 minutes + … 00.03%

The average time spent reading the 1-60 seconds … 99.05% was 3 seconds.

Of those 3,345 visited readers, most reader visits were from Singapore whom amounted to 477 visits; USA readers being a large population of 330 million amounted to 457 visits; Australia amounted to 6.58% of visitors.

     Media have introduced supposed experts whom claim children and teenagers are being negatively influenced by Internet websites, I see images of youth holding mobile phones witnessing thumbs thumbing down picture images as though youth where looking for particular pictures. Fed gov created stories of fixing the problem.

     I have previously posted a story about a man I know, who in the mid 1980s I witnessed paid particular attention to watching television commercials. I witnessed his wife complaining to me that her husband I referred to as Mr X didn’t talk to her enough, basically not at all. She stated to me “he doesn’t bother to stick his head up to talk to me during commercials”.
     In 1999 a Radio National morning Life Matters twice a week regular radio guest speaker stated “people were watching television commercials using the quick changing scenes to stimulate brain chemical rewards” I assume soon after to be endorphin and or dopamine. Soon after I asked Mr X who at the time was suffering from mental depression made worse after his wife divorced him in 1990. After reminding him how his wife complained about him watching television commercials, he said the commercials had information, I asked what the information was, he didn’t reply.

     Mr X bragged about how during primary school year 3 he was participating in teacher question and answer sessions, he stated he was putting his hand up to answer teacher’s questions as quick as he could so everyone in the classroom could see how smart he was that he quickly remembered the answers. As you the reader know as students teachers would require an answer from a chosen student within a short period, 1999 RN guest speaker stating teacher questions were to be answered within 3 seconds.
     I assume students whom played this morning teacher shallow The Chase quiz show like questions to be answered in 3 seconds game, most of whom were chosen to be in higher grade classes to be more office worker data processors to that of lower grade class students manual labourers.
     Mr X who in 2024 is on a Centrelink disability pension for depression since 1992, Mr X stated to me while playing year 3 QandA games, he “didn’t care about the information he only wanted to win” I say feeling a winner for answering shallow intelligence memory games also taught him to cut corners during teacher forced tasking feeling cognitive overload focusing on simple shallow data easy to answer questions during given time period exams, that speed is more important than accuracy as long as he could pass exams with a decent score. Not knowing answers was bad luck not his fault, an excuse Mr X uses while betting on horses and Keno, enjoying dwelling on winnings, having a long term Saturday gambling addiction. 

     Today’s youth are using quick scanning through mobile phone images to induce brain chemicals, judging quick decisions similar to Mr X inducing brain chemicals endorphin etc. stimuli. Youth aren’t looking for new unknown knowledge youth are looking to escape unknown knowledge tasks feeling rewarded for cutting corners, for reducing work loads as had been repeatedly practised during school.
     Youth aged into adulthood will practice similar self-induced self-rewarding as had been practised during school years. As after school behaviours were about avoiding school work many youth listening to load music, same youth as adults will want to attend load music concerts listening to they’re generation of after school listening music artists driven by the same brain chemical stress medication youth experienced after school.

     I remember when I was in primary school year 4, across a walk way the same students I was with in year 3, were seen by myself in year 4 were still playing teacher question and answer games, which during year 3 I never raised my hand to answer a teacher question.

     During the 1980s I know a man who before 1970 worked for a Sydney company who took on the task of teaching school leavers how to service valve technology televisions. In 1985 I purchased 2 Tandy books entitled “AC Analysis” which after reading the man told me how televisions worked. I easily understood how to service Australian colour televisions yet obtaining schematic diagrams to aid where block task areas were was difficult. The man whom told me how televisions worked stated he was surprised how quickly I understood electronic processes.

     The many fewer post reader whom read this far down the page, I ask to post a reply that you read the whole reading, so that not only myself as well as other readers can see whether posting readings are worth the effort.

Dear Steve,
are you the famous "Deep Thought"  ?

You home page is terrible -
it's just a whole lot of rambling text with no organisation.

You need to have the topics separated each with a little picture to retain interest.
Check out a CNN home page as a good example.

“ yet obtaining schematic diagrams to aid where block task areas were was difficult”.
Why was it difficult?

The three second attn span on websites is very common and called the “ bounce “.
The longer a website can increase the “ bounce “ the bigger the pay from google advertising.

     Young children are first shown a positive emotional experience on how to read by parents and or teachers whom use pictures to encourage enthusiasm. Children listen to the words at the end of each short sentence printed on pages, children are shown a coloured cartoon image.
     News papers begin most articles using a picture, to my knowledge articles are mostly crime and sports. Having read articles about racing horses, the knowledge was absolutely irrelevant to whether articles about horses had anything to do with that day’s horse race. Whether read in newspapers or watched on television news, 99% of information has nothing to do with average citizenry decision making intelligence. People being scammed often have limited details of how people were scammed.
     The fact that stories have to have images to encourage people to read what images are about, indicates readers need to relive childhood pleases of being shown images, that images generally have a limited intelligence information content, that as well as readers need to be child-like stimulated by pleasant colourful images before attempting to read something, indicates limited degree of intelligent curiosity, also the media are using images to attract readers attention to either punish readers caring to read something resembling learning knowledge: finance and business, as both media news reports are repetitively boring same rolled over information in an attempt to discourage people from wanting to know more. Most readers want to read uncomplicated easy to understand good feeling animal stories.

     When will humans care to advance awareness towards more complicated data to merely understand what were intended to be understood. As information: book providers; newspaper editors; television drama stories; news providers; quiz show providers are more distraction from reality, controlling rolling over the same easy to understand data knowledge to people whom ‘want to feel good’ rather than want to advance themselves towards a better outcome of understanding.

     I don’t type long readings so people whom want to be inspired by picture images as to relive youthful child-like brain chemicals, in attempts to self-medicate school learning stress traumas. I type long readings so people in inspiring journalism careers maybe inspired to correct media’s promoted poor to bad information excuses for why school education is intended to dumb down children using stress awareness causing long term mental depression increased anxiety, which over long term causes human behaviour to repress even the mildest complex information ‘fear of learning’, similar to what I often attempt to express.
     Forum post reply posters complaining I have too longer posts, I keep changing ideas... a saying “connect the dots” an idea that a full stop ends a single thought, the dots being sentence full stops, my entire post readings are about problem issues which are predominately caused by long hours of stressful school education which long term punishes human curiosity, so obvious to me by merely informing people, I frequently witness people running away and or make interrupting noises and or stop reading quick enough to avoid fears of learning something new needing longer then a short sentence to have been explained.
     Another reason I conclude why many people are inspired by picture images is that for 13 years mentally stressed school students were held in dismal classrooms for many hours each school day watching the same walls, tables, chairs, students... so depressing when allowed to venture out of classrooms seeing trees and grass together with not having to do school work felt so rewarding so less stressed away from classrooms, brains learned to feel rewarded watching picture images to that of reading establishment controlled education and media formulated to punish brains sentences.

     Governments are getting away with lying excuses about: why nations have wars; why nations have cash flow boom bust economies; why inflation is falling without mentioning crude oil prices are falling that any increases in crude oil prices will increase inflation ending speculation on when interest rates will fall. Space travel to the moon stories are as ridiculous as going to Mars, a great fantasy prediction for people whom feel inspired by brain chemical stimuli whom delight in child fairy tale stories.
     Donald Trump winning the election, maybe Kamala Harris was chosen to lose the election using her irritating to listen to “American Values” speech. I suspect to many voters the speech was merely propaganda, making little to no better life living conditions moving forwards policy statements. That many USA citizens including women don’t believe a women would make a good president. The idea a democracy party candidate would deliberately lose an election to ensure a dysfunctional acting president ‘using news media’ would continue to distract people from increasingly formulating intelligent decision making thoughts, keeping world populations whom are listening dumb to their own limited to basic decision making intelligence and or to whats really happening behind the scenes.

That's an intriguing perspective, Steve, but could it be that the majority of those brief visits are actually from web indexers or bots rather than real people? Even if it is actual visitors, you're assuming the content resonates with them. There are numerous variables you’ve overlooked, which makes your conclusions hard to substantiate.

On a related note, the concept of "raw dogging" has taken on a peculiar new twist in popular culture. It's being rebranded, somewhat ominously, to describe deliberately stripping away external stimuli during experiences. For instance, taking an international flight without any distractions: no tech, no book, no conversations, not even a meal, just sitting there, fully present and staring ahead.

This differs from the more reckless, spontaneous connotation of “raw dogging life,” which implies living without safeguards or careful preparation, as well as from its traditional, and now infamous, meaning that 45 disgustingly helped popularise.

The modern use of "raw dogging" seems to highlight the rarity and challenge of avoiding distractions entirely. It implies that resisting the pull of constant stimuli, whether it’s digital engagement, music, or superficial tasks, is a significant accomplishment in itself.  This would imply that we are easily distracted and it would be a challenge for many to be able to read more than a few lines at a time without starting to lose focus.

While much of what you’re saying about attention and gratification resonates on a colloquial level, your arguments lean heavily on anecdotal observations and assumptions, which might weaken the overall justification for your conclusions.

I saw something similar somewhere ( 3 seconds) recently about young men doing long haul flights without doing anything other than staying awake and staring directly ahead.

The Media has been claiming it's competitor, the Internet, has been a bad influence on society since it became public awareness decades ago.
Nothing has changed, nothing new.

The Media forgets that the public have become aware that the Media is a bad influence too. The appearance of Trump on the political scene via the request of 65,000 interneters has shown how corrupt and false the Media is. The Media didn't like it when Trump tweeted to the people directly, without his words being tweaked by the Media first.

A comparison of perspective is that the Media is a control freak Religion, that doesn't like people embracing another Religion on the scene. It can't compete fairly, so it seems to destroy. With that in mind, the Media has already lost.

Media regions:
Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania

Internet regions:
N.America, S.America, Sahul (Aust), Middle-East.

The Media is losing its grip (on reality) in N.America, let alone it's exploitation of it for the benefit of 'its' team.

It’s always a giggle in my household that the National news always has a animal story between sports and the weather 🙃

It’s really telling how stupid they take us for!
