There's no surprises in a NY Times article posted this week: "Scientists say juggling e-mail, phone calls and other incoming information can change how people think and behave". In short, our ability to focus is being undermined by bursts of information.

As the article goes on to say, there's a great deal of evidence to show that technology can improve the way our minds develop and work, BUT, there's also evidence that the explosion of new devices and "non-stop interactivity" is having a detrimental effect on our decision making abilities and stress levels.

Have you had had some back pain for many years, tried a few different things but never seemed to be able to get rid of it?

It can be so frustrating ... pain that keeps coming back, maybe prevents you from doing stuff in your life. It's a really common problem.
