Blackberries in the Bathroom While We Wipe Our Asses

STOP MULTITASKING!

We will. Just as soon we finish the 14 other things we're doing. And the 15 things we decide to do in between.

This article really hit home with me. I totally agreed with it as I read it on my Sidekick while driving. I found the first commentor's comment to be dead on. I've been using it as food for thought every day since I read it.

I remember reading once about a reporter who shoved a mic under the nose of a visting Chinese diplomat's wife's nose, and asked hurriedly -What did you find different from China? Initially dumbstruck by the abrupt intrusion of an unanounced reporter, she looked dazed, puzzled. But then, a light came into her eyes as she had it! "In China when someone is at work at their desk, we would interrupt them in a moment. If they're staring out the window, we would never interrupt them. In America, if someone is working at their desk you would never interrupt them. But if they're staring out the window you would interrupt them in a moment.This I do not understand."


It speaks volumes about American culture, doesn't it? How did we get this way? Better yet---how are we going to fix it?
