Attention Deficit Disorder or Ayo Technology?


As this is my first blog post/a bleep of existence in the technology sphere, I think it is appropriate to discuss digital distraction. A Wired article from Friday, titled "Digital Overload Is Frying Our Brains," argues that we are becoming a distracted society lacking the ability to think due to the omnipresence of technology. So is technology stressing us out or making life easier? Is it creating more questions with each answer? Are we going to start seeing Public Service Announcements alerting us to the brain damage dangers of technology?

Oh, wait. What? I totally just got distracted. Eggs sound delicious...can technology make me eggs?
