FIRST MEDIA LECTORIAL

We read an article today. Wow that was really vague, but I mean today, as in today being my first ever Media class.  Anyway, the article discussed the different learning types regarding deep attention people and hyper-attention people. I found the link between psychological learning tendencies and media very interesting as I had never really thought about the connection between the two. It got me thinking about my own attention span and I realised that most of the time I prefer to focus on more than one thing at once. To me this feels productive and keeps things interesting. However, if I am thoroughly interested in a subject or activity, I can focus on the task alone without being distracted too. It had me pondering over the idea that we might actually be moving into a generation more prone to hyper-attention due to the increase of media and technology. I think this is could be a great thing, if education foundations begin to adjust their ways of teaching to suit the needs of the generation.
