re: #61 Bagua

I also don’t buy the “makes us stupider” line. If anything, it has spread knowledge and ideas at an unprecedented rate. More people read news on the internet than ever read newspapers. But the distraction claim rings true, with TV being similar.

I know personally I hate the fact that I can no longer seem to have a meeting or conversation without the other party getting calls, text messages, emails, glancing at their screens at any pause, and so on. Nor does anyone seem to think it wise to turn off these distraction.

Conversely when I’m sat at the beach without a book, I can get bored. Paradise is dull after a couple of days. There is no winning.
