We are experiencing a “digital” reality, with all its elements (from vast Internet portals and search engines, to e-mail, 3G cellular phones and social networking). Scientists and anthropologists have come to the conclusion that the modern human has developed a difficulty in focusing in one activity! The distractions of our everyday lives are so many, that they have shorten our attention span. Has our lifestyle and the way we receive visual messages and information, become overloaded, too fast for us to handle and inhuman? We have created a wired environment, filled with so many "tools" of communication and information gathering, that it has become difficult for us to focus on one thing. Are we multitasking or permanently distracted?
