Screen Hopping, The Endless Itch For Attention

The remote control and mobile phone have turned us into bored content hunters. We flip channels and websites hoping to find something that excites us.

Such rapid hopping makes another person crazy. Indecision creates frustration.

There's simply too much choice on TV and the Web. Without a plan we scan content until we stumble upon something that grabs our attention. The final destination may be sports, music, movies, or the news.

The TV and second screen can compete for attention or be complimentary. Just last night I watched US play Brazil while keeping an eye on game sentiment on Twitter. Other times I'll use the TV simply as background noise and the mobile or desktop screen as my primary focus.

Whether it's one screen or two, browsing the TV or the Internet from our coach is an inescapable process. There's too much content clutter that to our advantage/disadvantage can be viewed quickly.

Sometimes turning everything off to be happy is the only choice.

The Answer

What’s interesting about math is that there’s always an answer but rarely a new answer.

People considered a math genius are those that solve math problems quickly. But then what?

More rote genius.

Math is just an element of what we create. Ideas, initiative, and pertinacity are the real game changers.

Are you going to be a math person or a person who uses math for to create things for the market?
