Time to write

Recently (sorry forever) I have been struggling to write, I could say it was due to a lack of creativity, a lack of motivation, or a lack of small furry things to put in my pockets. But to be honest it is purely down to my exceptional ability to procrastinate (Grammar Nazi note. Never start a sentence with a conjunction. Raping the English language is no way....CraCK!!!! Sorry, had a grammar nazi, had to shut him up, where was I?) 


Oh yes, I am exceedingly good at procrastinating, that is different to going off on a tangent. Tangents, are meant, to be gone off of? (Thank gidness we killed the grammar nazi) I recently tweeted that I would spend an hour each day trying to improve myself. Wow, that is a lot harder said than done. After all t i so much easier to pop in a movie, play some Play Station or just lose yourself in Google Reader.


Lately I have been reading up quite a bit on social media. Personally I really enjoy Twitter, I really enjoy the fact that I can read things from people who actually say interesting things. With all the people and spam I have blocked on FaceBook I am surprised they have not just closed my account


A Quick Link from Forbes' twitter feed. I remember reading something similar before, but can not remember where...

Another Interesting article about how smart phone users multitask. 


80% of Smartphone Users Multitask While Watching TV [STATS]

Trust me if you know anyone under 23, then yo will know exactly how pervasive those blackberies truly are. I really do not think this is limited to smartphones, it could be any web enabled device (for instance I am blogging on the laptop, while the tv is displaying some moving pictures with sound, called a shite b grade horror movie) 


On reading the above article I tweeted.

I would not call it multitasking so much, rather a dilution of concentration across tasks till you do none properly.

I really feel this is very true, I do not believe that even a woman is truly capable of multitasking. When PC's first started multitasking it was brilliant. The PC would queue different tasks in such a manner that we thought the tasks were being done at the same time, the fact of the matter is that the tasks were divided into little pieces and these were then fed into the processing queue. That is exactly what we do, we are continually siftig our focus from one task to the next. But what does this lead to? Personally I feel I have developed some kind of adult ADD, constantly needing something to occupy my attention, this leads back to the procrastination that I was complaining about.Does this also explain the popularity of Twitter? Say what ever you want as long as it is 140 characters or less.
