Is Technology Destroying Our Attention Spans?

64029 Comments2011-07-05+05%3A24%3A22Marcus 05 July 2011

I’ve developed a disturbing habit in the last year or so. It seems that I can’t fully devote my attention to any one task. If I’m on the phone I’ll put my headphones in so I can play Words With Friends. If I’m watching a Denzel Washington movie I’ll open my laptop, google the movie [...]

Controlling online monopolies

When I think monopoly I think of companies like AT&T (resulting in the “baby bells”), Standard Oil (Exxon Mobil and Chevron were formed due to its breakup), and Microsoft. These monopolies were created through control of resources, high barriers to entry, and their ability to price others out of the market. All have faced litigation [...]

I’ve recently been debating whether to buy another car now or wait for something better. I decided that I want something great on gas mileage and good for the economy if I can.

Apple reopened a can of worms in 2010 with its iPad. Why reopen…because the tablet concept has been around for years. Be that as it may, tablet sales are set for the roof and everyone wants a piece of the pie. According to marketwatch.com, tablet sales were ~19.5 million in 2010 and destined to hit [...]
