Richtel's 2010 warnings about digital fragmentation have proven prophetic. Constant digital stimulation has indeed rewired human attention, with smartphones driving perpetual interruption.

The transformation is real: our brains struggle to focus amid endless content streams. The solution isn't abandoning technology, but cultivating mindful engagement - using digital tools intentionally while preserving our capacity for sustained attention and meaningful connection.
