Not sure what it is. Anyway, I read the article and it is indeed something to check out. The first scientific studies are now coming in and they are showing that the constant interruptions and interaction with cell phones, email, computers, etc., is physiologically changing the brain.

I won't spoil it but you might be shocked when you find out what our brains now resemble.
