        Attention is focused thought and actions. What they should study is lack of interest and how to engage the fleeting mind.

        Multi tasking isn't healthy. Ask me, I have flooded the kitchen, bedroom, and yard (yes, 3 different floods) bc I was waiting for water to fill things...and walked away to do just a couple things. Bedroom flood = running the tub in the en suite bathroom

        Perhaps, and quite looking forward to the future of the impact of technological changes, for now we may just embrace the emergence of this new human behavior in the modern and industrial societies.
