"Anyone else feel like they are getting dumber?"


  

          

Can't finish a book.

Not only movies feel too long, but hour long dramas seem to much like a time commitment.

What do I do with my time, flip between web pages and twitter delivered articles.


I am considering radically changing my internet usage. Read the news once a day, and limit twitter and okp type pages usage.

Anyone else feel this way?
