" Without knowing it or meaning to, we are training ourselves to be constantly on the alert for interruptions; to seek out messages incessantly, to process data rather than discover, invent, think, or feel, and in general to lose the propensity or even the capacity to ponder, pause, imagine, or give full focus to anyone or anything for more than a few restive moments. "
― Edward M. Hallowell , Married to Distraction: Restoring Intimacy and Strengthening Your Marriage in an Age of Interruption
