  2. The article from the Times on the internet, multitasking, and distraction was interesting. I would agree with you that it overreacted a little bit–it read like the advent of the internet has doomed our attention spans–but yeah, there is a danger in spending too much time thinking in this information-inundation mode.

    Did you read the article from the Atlantic that it references? http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200807/google . It’s a much more balanced look at the issue, not so quick to condemn, and more willing to speculate on its ramifications. I recommend it.
