In 2004, an office worker could sit with a single task for roughly two and a half minutes before glancing away. Today, that same worker lasts an average of 47 seconds before switching his or her attention, according to a 2023 University of California study that documented over two decades of workplace observation. The change is also noticeable in daily life, not just in the office. Haneen Ibrahim, 21, a university student, notices the change when she tries to undertake a task she once found easy.   “I used to be able to read a book for hours on end. I used to be so bored that I would pick up a pencil and start drawing,” Ibrahim said. “Now when I try to do that, I feel restless and impatient.” The University of California study, drawn from field studies that began in 2003 using stopwatches and clipboards and evolved into large-scale digital tracking, has become a shorthand for a broader affliction, which is the erosion of follow-through.

Egypt’s foreign minister, Badr Abdelatty, spoke by phone with his Dutch counterpart, Dick Berendsen, on Monday, 13 October, to press for the release of an Egyptian citizen detained in the Netherlands and to demand stronger protection for Egypt’s embassy in The Hague, Egypt’s Foreign Ministry said. Abdelatty asked the Dutch authorities to explain why the man had been arrested and to free him quickly, according to the ministry’s account of the call. Egyptian news outlets identified the man as Ahmed Nasser, the deputy head of the Union of Egyptian Youth Abroad, and said he was taken into custody on Sunday.   According to Egypt Today, Nasser was arrested allegedly for threatening to assault Anas Habib, another Egyptian national who had recently filmed himself outside the Egyptian Embassy in the Netherlands insulting embassy staff members as Dutch officers stood by. The arrest drew demonstrators to the Dutch Embassy in Cairo on Monday, where they called for answers about his detention and for his release. On the embassy’s security, Abdelatty cited the Netherlands’ obligations under the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which requires host countries to protect foreign missions, and urged theContinue reading "Egypt Calls for Release of Egyptian Arrested in the Netherlands"
