"A study from Microsoft involving more than 2,000 people has found that the average attention span has dipped to a low 8 seconds – down from 12 seconds in 2000. A goldfish has an attention span of 9 seconds."

Big surprise...not.

Well I coach U9s in Aussie Rules and 8 seconds seems about right...

Depends on the topic. Talk about physiology, music or self-sustainable gardening, I'd be all ears for longer than 12 seconds. Try and get my attention with the intricacies of politics or law and I'd be lost after the first couple of seconds.
