The Shallows

We want to be interrupted, because each interruption brings us a valuable piece of information...

We willingly accept the loss of concentration and focus, the division of our attention and the fragmentation of our thoughts, in return for the wealth of compelling or at least diverting information we receive. Tuning out is not an option many of us would consider.
