    The attention span of the young today smdh! lol.


    A teacher try to mind control someone using a curse on behalf of teaching.

    Students snapped out of the mind control mid-way.

    IS this short attention span? Or is it automatic protection against
    teacher's curse? :)

    I remember reading a novel about the future, where the only stories people read were just one or two pages long.

    You can explain taht phenomena.

    Because the people in that book's world had long memory. They were not new-born idiots that needed to learn about the world again.

    Does the President of United States of America need to read/hear all the
    books to issue an executive order? No. :)

    Why should one attend to the person who's trying to curse? BANG!!
