Children cannot listen with understanding for 90 minutes, even in a children's movie that grabs their attentions. That is why most children's movies you will see are 80 minutes long. Sesame Street was a pioneer in this field: A 55-minute show with segments varying from 30 seconds (or less) to 3-5 minutes. Most segments are about 90 seconds long, I would imagine. However, you are talking about adults, not children. Yes, the concepts are true, but you also have to consider the audience. People who come to church are EXPECTING to be passive, inactive, and talked to. Most people don't approach church, or even Wednesday night activities like they do a seminar or training session. Be that as it may, we can do things better to retain information and increase our appeal to the masses. But I'm just saying that what we do isn't necessarily a bad thing, nor is it totally unproductive, nor is it totally inappropriate.
