It's short and sweet. The author seems to view distractions simply as disturbances in our daily lives. In his article, he wrote about research showing that reflection is greatly hindered by multitasking. The human brain was never built to do multiple things at once. When a lot of information is thrown in the brain's direction, there is a chance that it will become more confusing. It makes sense that introspection suffers from multitasking. Because people surround themselves with distractions and are limited by their inability to multitask, they question their existence less and focus more on pithy observations and short-and-sweet statements. These are the reasons why Wayne's article is similar to that one. It is written for a distracted audience. If Wayne had written anything more, his readers would have quickly lost interest. In this age of instant gratification and a constant buzz of information, it may be impossible for people to sit still and just read. Lastly, I view distractions as a form of entertainment. While distractions can become a nuisance if not handled properly, I still find it interesting to relax at the end of the day and watch a TV show or find something fun to read on the Internet. All videos and games are entertaining and purely for entertainment. They are a welcome respite from work, study or the latest news
