I just came back from a safety conference where one of the presenters stated that humans have an attention span of 8 seconds - less than that of a goldfish. While this is a vivid and easy to remember statistic that many presenters and media sources like to repeat, it is not proven and there seems to be little to no evidence backing it up.
