A few days ago I read an interview on Wired magazine's website.  The topic was "digital overload", and the person being interviewed was Maggie Jackson.  In the interview, Jackson says that paying attention isn't a simple act of self-discipline, but a cognitive ability with deep neurobiological roots.  These roots are being destroyed by all of the electronic devices that we now are tethered to, along with their applications.
