Loosely Assembled

Jim Stogdill writes very well about a compelling theme in his article entitled Skinner Box? There’s an App for That. I would have to sum it up as being about the nature of distraction in today’s networked world, and our role in its continuation.

There are a few tantalizing snippets that I just have to share hoping to lure you into reading the whole thing, if you can focus long enough.

• A self licking ice cream cone of the mind
• We’re pre-implant so I plug into the Skinner Borg with fingers and eyes
• The very technology that makes our collective integration possible also distracts us from advancing it
