Just as Matt Richtel says “The resulting distractions can have deadly consequencethese urges can inflict nicks and cuts on creativity and deep thought, interrupting work and family life” (para 10). Of course, we are paying a price for that.Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute of Drug Abuse and one of the worlds leading brain scientists asserts that “The technology is rewiring our brains”(para 13).
