Myth, the Universe, and Everything

I think that's a good point--the computer is so many devices rolled into one that it offers a lot of opportunities for distraction. That said, I do manage to focus on it as a word processor once I unplug, so the data could be significant in both directions. I'd love to see a study about that! (Preferably published in a journal like the Atlantic though--I'm too lazy to read academic journals these days...)
