Summer Meditation Challenge! (Day 35)
Tuesday, July 5, 2011
I noticed that in my daily activities today, I had a difficult time staying focused on anything beyond more than 5 minutes or so. Is this an example of Hyperlink Hyperactivity Disorder? Here's a New York Times article that introduces the issue of shortened attention spans due to excessive Internet time. It's called The Medium Is the Medium.
The NYT article references The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, by Nicholas Carr.
I think I should check this out. My sitting tonight was a virtual solar corona of thoughts firing, subsiding, and firing again. So much to the point that I couldn't finish out my designated 30 minute sit!
