This issue of Times magazine talk about a common disorder in the wired society of today - Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).

A few terms in the magazine sounds interesting... it's known as

the multitasker's glossary.

Screen Sucking
Wasting time online long after you have finished what you signed on to do.

Frazzing
Frantic, ineffective multitasking, typically with the delusion that you are getting a lot done. The quality of the work, however is poor.

Pizzled
How you feel when someone you're with pulls out a cell phone or BlackBerry and uses it without an explanation or apology. A cross between "piss off" and "puzzled".

Doomdart
The internal distraction of a forgotten task that pops into your mind when you are doing something else. A side effect of frazzing.



Alright... I am screen sucking again.

Yawnz. Nightz.
