Is it getting harder to maintain focus?
About this episode
It may come as no great surprise to any of our listeners that it is our goal here at Futureproof to educate and reveal the world of science to you.
In order to do that, we must keep you entertained, and engaged - we absolutely have to hold your attention.
That being said, try as we might, chances are that at least for some of you, your mind will wander.
But in this modern age are we inclined to allow our minds to drift off more than before? Is our attention being stolen?
Johann Hari, author of ‘Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention' joins Jonathan to discuss.
Dr. Shane Bergin & Dr. Susan Kelleher also join Jonathan for this week's installment of 'Newsround'.
