How does social media affect the attention span of Generation Z?

Social media has had a significant impact on the attention span of Generation Z. With the constant bombardment of information and entertainment on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat, Generation Z is faced with shorter bursts of content that demand quick engagement. This constant stream of stimuli has created a culture of instant gratification and decreased attention spans.
