This is a very interesting topic of discussion I have been having recently with others. I think that the technology in our lives to make things faster, easier, etc. has a damaging side affect. Call it Techno ADD if you will. I too have felt its affects.
I have noticed that my kids multi task like crazy. The can be watching TV, playing on the PSP and one ear bud in with their ipod. I am constantly telling my son to turn his ipod off, if I didn't he would never turn it off. His idea of social or family interaction is his ipod running with one ear bud in. If I make them focus on one thing they cant do it, you try to talk to them and they don't get it.
When I ground him for anything, take away his "technology" his response is to just sleep or lay in bed.
