Maybe he needs a dumb phone.

He does seem to have learned one new thing.

Alas, it’s not unusual for phones to be smarter than their users.

I’m the dinosaur who does not have a phone, want to talk to me call my wife

I do have a tablet thats only a few months old and I love it

My wife loves it too, now I look stuff up myself instead of asking her to do it

I also find myself looking up stuff that I hear or see on the tube, and spend more time on my laptop than watching whatever it was that distracted me in the first place. :D

The human brain can’t multitask. What we’re doing is switching back and forth between tasks. There’s debate over where this is bad for you:

Yeah, I’ve been watching a TV program and during the endless commercials forget what it is I’m supposed to be watching. That’s when I flip to another “program” that is only showing commercials.

I takes me a while to read my gocomics; the comments grab my attention and then I’m off on an information-tangent.

I had a friend who would listen to someone brag about their latest gadget. When they were finished, she would simply ask, “Does that make you a better person?”
