I... don't follow.
Look into attention span and the average time spent on web pages now that Facebook exists, it's crazy...
It's not only Facebook.
Sure, the problem got exacerbated by Facebook though, they encourage their users to quickly go from one post to another.
I've noticed it happening to myself. As I get older and older, I find it more and more difficult to focus on reading. Used to read all the time as a kid, but now in my 30s, I can barely finish a chapter, let alone an entire book. Having ADHD doesn't help, either.
I blame excessive internet use. Why invest in anything longer than a few seconds when there's just so much more content out there that's waiting to be seen?
I'm going to assume people are having trouble understanding what you write and that if everyone around you doesn't understand.... Well that's on you.
