I love picking up a book that shares similar thoughts that I have been having for year. Only problem he was able to make money off of it and I tell people who do not seem to care.
In the book he is making a convincing point (could be convincing because I have had the same thought for the past few years) that multitasking takes away from concentrated thought. He quotes Seneca a roman Philosopher " To be everywhere is to be nowhere". I like the wording of this. If we are focused on everything we are hardly focused on anything. It is true the more we spread ourselves out, the more spread out we become. We can't seem to pinpoint problems if we are no focusing on any single on but trying to focus on all of them.
Another great quote one that I would have highlighted if I owned the book was "we are evolving from being cultivators of personal knowledge to being hunters and gatherers in the electronic data forest". Man I love it. I have made this point many time Why waste energy filing away things if I know I can just go to Google and easily pull it up.
