journalist and author Maggie Jackson, whose most recent book is
titled, Distracted: The Erosion of Attention and the Coming Dark Age.
It's never easy to just stop and think. And we tend to organize our
lives in such a way that paying sustained attention to something --
anything -- becomes even more difficult. Modern technology, of course,
makes the situation worse still. Maybe we'll have a new Dark Age,
maybe we won't, but the overall point about damage done is well taken.
And, it turns out, we can learn how to not be distracted.
It's probably also useful to be aware of how distracted those around
us have become, and what some of the consequences may be.
