Losing Focus
I’ve pondered this before, but in this month’s The Atlantic is a great article entitled “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” that is well worth the read. The topic, of course, is the Internet’s gradual erosion of our ability to concentrate. I’ve heard Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com refer to it as “information snacking.”
I find myself agreeing with a lot written in the article, but I can find comfort that I’m apparently not the only one who is experiencing this phenomenon. Now to find a way to reverse it and still be able to do my job.
