From the time that we are born we give people a certain amount of time before we let them know that we've had enough, and it's usually not very long. Why is that? Why do we have such short attention spans? I think that the main reason is because of the society that we live in. We live where we want things fast and we want them done fast. If we don't get it in that amount of time we get frustrated. So like when you are sitting in class or somebody is going overtime in church it gets annoying because we can think of so many other things that we could be doing or would rather be doing. So if our world would slow down our attentions spans might increase.
