One positive aspect of the younger generation's short attention span is that they get bored during an in-depth palm or card reading, so I give them a 3 minute reading instead of a 10 minute reading. They don't lose interest, and my hourly income is significantly increased if I read a hoard of young people with poor attention spans. If I bounce around several topics, then weaved it all back together, if I don't complete sentences, and pause briefly whenever a cop car, pretty girl, or other distraction manifests, then pick up right where I left off, they are amazed at my ability to keep them entertained. I use the same technique on children who have poor attention spans who have not yet learned to focus or maintain interest. That is to say, I talk down to them and treat the college age people with poor attention spans like I am dealing with addlepated pre-teens.
