Well..hardly.It seems no matter what changes are made to connecting on the internet, things grow, get bogged down, and get bloated.Does anyone remember the late 80's..and Unix? Probably not.Moos, Mush's and Muds? When a simple unix *talk* command would suffice in connecting to a remote computer? How about when you fingered someone..to see when they were online..now saying that means flipping the bird.Then the bulletin boards and telnet to chats? Or early communications like PowWow, or when ICQ was a novelty, and windows 3.1 would start the infamous blue screen of death for most Microsoft products?

  Then there was freetel, the forerunner of voip's(of which skype now is the foremost).Then the wysiwyg programs for making your own website before uploading to your space..making knowledge of coding redundant.(anyone can make a webpage now for sure don't ya know).And blogs..a wonderful idea, easy simplicity..which then became a horror to upkeep unless you got a free provider like blogger.

  Now facecrack..er facebook..and twitter..and on and on...more bloatware, more coding horrors.Where does this lead us all? More communication for sure, but when I use stumbleupon or even F/B and twitter, they are falling pray to the same old practices that flooded newsgroups years ago(hmm..don't know what newsgroups are?..shame..a wealth of information).

 I wont even go into darknet and p2p ,...are we really getting closer as a global community..or falling prey to fallacies and political/religious/whatever ramblings.

So finally reasoning behind why we cannot do two things at once, for instance being surprised when concentrating on a task at hand :"Researchers hypothesize that we may be temporarily blinded by surprise because the surprise stimulus and subsequent response occupies so much of our processing ability." Why surprises temporarily blind us
