I agree, mostly. There have been studies done that show that young people (college age and a little younger) suffer from distraction. They all think they can "multi-task" - so they talk while they study and they web surf while they're in class. They check email while reading - so they have very little retention. Having "all in one" devices only make distraction worse.

Have you seen those people who walk into fountains? Well, they are now also walking into the street and being run over. A new form of natural selection, maybe?
