I think it's clear it does. Students in schools switch their attentions so incredibly quickly that it preempts any immersion in the material. Seriously, talk to any teacher they will explain it better than me, I just deal with student computers.
Doesn't mean it's caused by short-form content. It's kinda annoying seeing that repeated everywhere without evidence imo.
Fine, disprove it then asshole. Where's your evidence? If educators everywhere are setting alarms off about it, that implies something's going on. This is the new thing that's changed.
No need to be toxic about it. Do you think anyone who disagrees with you is automatically an asshole?
Other than that, there's plenty that's changed other than the existence of short-form content, with everything going on in the world right now people are more stressed than ever. And stress is definitely one thing that reduces attention spans.
Not saying that that is the solution but it's definitely one explanation and in my view it's more likely than what's basically just the equivalent of 'phone bad'.
