Yes, I said goldfish. I got the phrase from an article here: Click Meh! In short, I'd have to say I agree with this paragraph here:
The addictive nature of web browsing can leave you with an attention span of nine seconds - the same as a goldfish.
And this one here:
With literally millions of websites at our fingertips, the attention span of the average web surfer is measured in seconds.
So why am I thinking about this? Because of people coming into chat, saying hello and getting pissed that no one has replied when it's been all of five seconds. I mean seriously. They don't even give you enough time to type anything.
So if you are one of these people, congrats, you've become a Digital Goldfish. =P
