Is it possible that our brains could get too accustomed to the amount of stimulation coming from subliminals that normal levels of stimulation are not enough to hold our attention?

For example the older generation can read physical books with full attention just fine and find them highly entertaining. While the younger generation who are always on the computer/phone/multiple devices doing multiple things at once are finding that they have difficulty focusing on one thing at a time. Many find reading books not stimulating enough due to being accustomed to having so much stimulation from other devices all the time.

We are encouraged in most cases to use subliminals as much as possible to maximize the effects. Could this have negative effects in the long run? Even though our brains are very plastic even discontinuing the stimulus will never return it completely to the way it was before.

The primary reason the older generation has no problem reading books, and the younger generation does, is that the older generation was not raised on multimedia devices that constantly trained their brains to stay in Theta (sleep/dream/defocus mode). The older generation stays in standard waking Beta (awake/focus mode) because they don't overdose on multimedia constantly.

The conscious and subconscious minds are very different things, and the subconscious mind takes a long time to "get bored" when it gets bored. Even when the conscious mind might have an attention span of minutes or less, and the personality type is scattered, flighty, flaky and all over the place, the subconscious can typically maintain focus for at least 90 days depending on the programming being input and the program their subconscious mind is already running.
