Some advantages, particularly to this age, are not to be denied. Boredom1 seems to have been "vanquished2"! There is always something to do, but hasn't this translated into a perpetual distraction3 in our lives? In the bathroom, at the dinner table, in the backseat, at wedding, at embrace, at graduation day. It's always, something to check, something to tweet, something to watch, something to download, something to play, something to share, something to buy, something on a voicemail, something to yank at our attention span and it's all in the palm of our hand for small monthly service fee. It seems technology has allowed for "a surplus of celebrities4", and that is nothing to cheer about. Anyone...although that Sam Tusi, he rocks, anyone can enjoy the purpose of note writing now and duration of fame has been lengthened5 for many world-hold-breath fifty minutes to good fifteen months if you are willing to do certain things on camera.
