I think it's courteous to pay attention, if nothing else. How would you like it if you had to stand up in front of a plane full of people and give a safety lecture that no one paid attention to? I'm sure they're used to it by now, but I'd rather be polite.
I always, always, always read the seatback material on emergencies. I don't mind sitting in exit rows when I fly, and make sure to be prepared to help people out should I choose to sit there by reading the instructions. If I'm not in the exit row, I make damn sure to know where the exits are.
Sure, the chances of me being in a plane crash are really small, but why chance being unprepared? What does it hurt to pay attention for 2 minutes?
