<http://maggie-jackson.com/>Distracted: The Erosion of Attention and 
the Coming Dark Age

Jackson: Dark ages are times of forgetting, when the advancements of 
the past are underutilized. If we forget how to use our powers of 
deep focus, we'll depend more on black-and-white thinking, on surface 
ideas, on surface relationships. That breeds a tremendous potential 
for tyranny and misunderstanding. The possibility of an 
attention-deficient future society is very sobering.
