My first reaction was that I got a good chuckle, but then I started thinking... Apart from Tripatini, of course, how much time do I spend surfing the Web? Sure, I get lots of intellectual stimulation from it, but how much faster could I work without the distraction? Can we ever really focus on what we're writing, the way we used to, know that those little Outlook alerts pop up on our screens every time an email comes in? Can we hold one intelligent train of thought for more than a minute these days? So to what extent is the Internet making us less productive, less deep, less thorough?
And beyond work, how many sunsets have I missed because I was staring at my screen (or lately at my iPhone!!)? How many strangers have I failed to smile at, because I was too busy texting? How many conversations have I missed?
I don't know. Just seems we're missing some pretty important stuff. And concentration on our work is just one of them.
