Abstract

The amount of information we are exposed to on a daily basis is astounding: today, we take-in five times than we did thirty-five years back. The internet era has altered people's attention spans. Human physiology has also been changed by technology. It has an impact on our memory, attention spans, and sleep cycles. The current study is an effort to explore the link between attention span and social media use among young adults. The sample size was 110 participants, and the tool used was the Everyday Life Attention Span (ELAS). According to the data, there is no significant relationship between Span of Attention and Social Media Usage among young adults.
