Frequently Asked Questions
What are the two main uses of "span" on this page?
One is about a short attention span — how briefly focus holds — and the other is about spanning a wide range, like a whole spectrum of interests.
Is there a quote specifically about attention span?
Yes, more than one — the quotes plainly admit to having little patience for sustained focus, tying directly into Attention Span as its own theme.
What does "I span the entire geek spectrum" mean?
It's a claim of covering the full range of geek interests rather than sitting narrowly in one corner of it, linking to Geek.
Is there a quote connecting readers and writers?
One line suggests a generational link between authors and their audience — that the readers who stick around are shaped by, and help shape, the writers of their own era.
Who would relate most to these span quotes?
Anyone who's joked about a short attention span, or who identifies with covering a broad, all-encompassing range of interests, will find something familiar here.
Others use span more expansively, from covering an entire Geek spectrum to the idea that readers and writers of a generation rise together. Together they cover both the limits and the reach of attention.
