PLN 19

What kind of world would we have if no one could focus on anything boring in more then 30 seconds? In George Wills, Lost in Electronica he tells about a boy’s addiction to entertainment to the point where they can’t stand being bored at all and need the constant entertainment. The problem is that there are always ways to distract ourselves, and that we never actually get bored, which then makes us unable to cope with being bored and have to go find something to do. This affects me because if I am one of these people I will not be able to do anything in the real world because I won’t be able to learn it due to my attention deficit. This affects my class because if my classmates are like me we won’t be able to focus on any projects and this will make schools almost pointless because they won’t be able to get the students to do anything. This affects the world because there will always be ways to distract ourselves and if we stay the same way from childhood we won’t be able to handle the adult world. What would you do if your memory was as long as a goldfish?
