Commercials have been getting shorter since the 1950s. Television time is expensive. And, in the Information Age, we want our information and we want it now. Just give it to us so we can move on.
Mobile devices work best with short bursts of information, and advertising can play a role in paying the freight. We will be seeing more one-second spots.

I've seen longer fades between play and replay in a football game. Placement would be important, or it would be lost in the adjoining spots. If it were too bright, the flash would cause viewers to blink and miss it.
