		<description><![CDATA[There is much sturm und drang over  the neurological impact of using ubiquitous technologies (e.g., Facebook, texting, web surfing).  Two recent articles, the first by Robert Peluso, "Minds at stake in debate over power of Internet, and the second, Robert Wright's "Mind the grid"  have inspired the following meditation on the phenomenology of fragmentation. This post argues that the fragmentation of consciousness induced by technology represents, neither a new development nor a conspiratorial threat against our attention spans, but rather is an accelerated continuation of trends that began in the 1950s as Americans switched to the screen from the radio.  I also suggest that there is a “payoff” for the totally distracted that manifests as a boost to the ego.  Hence, in the presence of this reward, we are reluctant to give up or disruptions because they make us feel and more important.  The antidote remains a dose of mindfulness as it has for the past 2400 years.]]></description>
