There are many connections that are happening between the two different articles that we are reading in class. These articles are “Attention Deficit: The Brain Syndrome of Our Era” by Richard Restak and “In Defense of Distraction” by Sam Anderson are discussing how today our world is very distracted by technology. Not only is there distraction because of technology but also many more things, and they all impact our society today. In Restak’s article he talks about the brain, like ADD/ADHD and how people are diagnosed with it and how it impacts there focus and technology is not helping them because they can get easily distracted. But on the other hand Anderson said that technology may be a good thing, because everybody gets distracted. There’s really nothing to do about it and we can’t stop using technology or even anything to help people get distracted.
