NY Times ran a piece yesterday on the Pernicious Effects of Today's Modern Information Technologies, and included a pair of "test yourself" doodads to prove to you - prove to you! - to what sorry state your concentration has been reduced by always-on access to utube, email, twits, etc.

Have at it.

I can tell you, happily, I am one concentrated emeffer compared with those mouthbreathing-while-blackberrying NY Times readers.

When there were 2 distracting blue rectangles you made 100 percent of tests correctly, a score of 2.

When there were 6 distracting blue rectangles you made 100 percent of tests correctly, a score of 2.

I am prevented from schooling you iPhone-attached fools by the fact that my virtual PC (yay technology!) doesn't handle Java applications well.

I have a 2006 LG clamshell phone, ya hater.

so you didn't concentrate well enough to notice there were 2 types of tests, then? (You overlooked/refrained from attempting the odd/even #, vowel/consonant identification test. That test is found on the 2nd tab; "Test how fast you juggle tasks")

Actually I realized it would be an unwise attempt at time management to take the tests rather than go to work. Perhaps after lunch when I feel better able to waste company time.

Anyone have any good ways of calming down that doesn't involve mind altering substances? I'm going fucking insane.
