My View

For years, I have echoed what many educators say: We are more distracted than ever. I feel it myself, scrolling instead of reading, checking my phone when I meant to be present, struggling with the deep focus that once came naturally.

I have written about this unease before, including after reading The Anxious Generation. That concern still feels real.

But a recent conversation on the podcast 鈥淩eThinking with Adam Grant鈥� nudged my thinking in a new direction. Historian Daniel Immerwahr, discussing his article 鈥淲hat If the Attention Crisis Is a Distraction?鈥� does not deny that something has changed. He questions whether our ability to pay attention actually is shrinking. His thesis is simple but provocative. What we are experiencing may be less an attention crisis and more an attention transition, a shift in what we pay attention to rather than a collapse in our capacity to focus.
