from the original blog: How do people manage interruptions? A few years ago I became very interested in how people manage their interruptions. We’ve talked a lot about this in the CPU blog over the years. See: The Asymptotic Twitter Curve and Multitasking makes us stupid? and it’s still an area of active interest in the research community and here at Creating Passionate Users.
Very interesting? Beyond interesting. Instead think: so we're heading to this state of continuously partial attention due to the info-glut we're creating for ourselves; and diminishing our ability to make sense and perform at our highest quality because of it. And it's as addicting as any drug in that it affects receptors in our brain... needing outside stimulation and entertainment.
But our innate desire is to feel as connected as "humanly" possible, no matter what. Even at our individual demise. Will we evolve to function better as conjoined humans than as independent reflectors? hmmmm....
