they can't focus and have trouble sticking to one thing at a time.

1. a quote from an article
2. personal experience
3. Friedrich Nietzsche

The evidence is very effective because it illustrates the harmful effects of having vast amounts of information a click away

The So What question of this article is, "What is so important about having to use computers for everything? Why can't we move away from it and go back to our roots?"
