Distraction

Yesterday the New York Times ran an article about cellphones and smartphones and texting and Tweeting and all that stuff we've gotten to know and loathe, and the stuff that many of us (including me) do. Well, Tweeting ... only on occasion, and only on a whim.

As I read the article, at first I felt superior: I'm not easily distractable! I don't have an ADD mindset! Then I think about how I write, constantly switching back and forth between applications. I can write without the internet, but it is damn hard.

Is this how I have trained my mind? If so, I want a second chance.
