To be honest, my mind had started to meander off halfway through the word ‘decreasing’. Anyway, the study suggested that 47 per cent of people believe that 'deep thinking' has become a thing of the past.
Those of you who loyally read this page, of course, will possibly disagree with that particular section of society. Trying to follow the general thread of the weekly column, for instance, forces you into a cocoon of concentration and sober contemplation.
