Research from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts has shown that the average focused screen-time for any one activity has dropped from about two and a half minutes twenty years ago to just 47 seconds today. That's having a huge impact on the type of tech that's being developed that we could use and it's one of the several features at the ongoing Doers Summit at Dubai Digital Park in Dubai Silicon Oasis. It’s two days of innovation, investment and big ideas with speakers from around the world sharing their stories and helping shape the future of finance, technology, and entrepreneurship. We speak with Niklas Jansen, co-founder of Blinkist, an app that takes non-fiction books and turns them into short, digestible insights you can read or listen to in 15 minutes.
