Increased Distraction from Computer/Cell Phone Use & Diminished Attention Span
I have this problem. I took it into an appointment with doctoral candidates in the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine Program. It has reached a point of deep concern: I am increasingly distracted and have diminished attention span. I attribute this to constant computer and cell phone use.
HERE ARE SOME LINKS ON THIS PROBLEM THAT IS CLEARLY BEING IDENTIFIED iN STORIES
Students can't resist distraction for two minutes ... and neither can you

Are gadgets making us dumber? Two new studies suggest they might be. One found that people who are interrupted by technology score 20 percent lower on a standard cognition test. A second demonstrated that some students, even when on their best behavior, can't concentrate on homework for more than two minutes without distracting themselves by using social media or writing an email.
The story continues...
"There are those people who think that multitasking is simply the way life is now and we should be focusing on getting better at it ... that we are a bunch of old fogies who don't understand," Paul said. "But scientifically, there is no evidence for that. There are fundamental biological limits to what the brain can pay attention to. This is a problem built into the brain."

The speaker phone was echoing, making my call disturbing.
I need some kind of device to keep the phone away from my head. This "put it on the speaker to hear a call" not seem to work.
