This article is long-ish, but it brings up one of my biggest concerns about technology and whether or not we should use it so much. It talks about they way kids' brains are changing to a multi-tasking mode, leaving them unable to focus for a longer period of time on any one thing. How does our work respond to this?

Does that make it ok?
