Is The Expectation for Instant Gratification Valid?

I had an interesting thought yesterday when I heard a speaker in an event mentioned that today's young people don't really read long articles. He added that if a message can be summarised into a sentence, it's even better!

How true is that? Personally I beg to differ. However, my thought doesn't represent the overall Gen Y thoughts. Is it because how each of us grow up with fast moving visuals and so many choices that they shorten our attention span.

Oh yes, elder individuals always responded in unison that Gen Y individuals have shorter attention span compare to themselves and their peers, as well as their seniors. My thoughts are if processes can be shorten yet at the same time, yield similar results, isn't that reflect effectiveness? What's wrong with demanding for instant gratification when it is possible and we deserve it?

Have you ever heard and experienced any of the above where you had a discussion with probably, your bosses or immediate supervisors on the subject?

It would be great to understand the reason for this ongoing debate on the area of managing and bringing out the best in Gen Y talents.
