Those people self reporting short attention spans should worry less about their attention span being permanently eroded by technology and more about why they are so beaten down and exhausted that the only thing they have energy and focus for is mindlessly scrolling.

The reason people say "I can't read a book anymore" has nothing to do with their brains (for the vast majority of cases) and everything to do with the amount of stress, anxiety and exhaustion daily life throws at them.
