No single task has my undivided attention. A study by the University of California, San Francisco, last week concluded that constant multi-tasking gradually erodes short-term memory. And interruptions are a massive problem, taking anything up to 20 times the length of the interruption to recover. For those of us compelled to check email every few minutes, that revelation explains where the day goes.

Kindle With Ads — Deal Or Crappy Deal?
Are the ads going to be shown within the books themselves? Or just on the menu pages? If it’s the latter, good deal. If it’s the former, it’s an awful deal — definitely not worth it.
Update: Jason has the details:
But fear not, skeptical bibliophiles: Amazon says that the ads will only show up on the Kindle’s home screen and screensavers, and they won’t show up when you’re actually reading.
You get a Kindle for $114 with the ads. I think it’s worth it but I don’t understand why Amazon wouldn’t push it down to the killer $99 price point. Are the $14 really that key to their margins? Put in two ads, do whatever, just get to that price point!
Imagine how many units a $99 Kindle would sell.
How the world is going mobile… amazing.

Like how it illustrates the evolution of classroom and that the current teaching methods may no longer work for the highly digital, mobile citizens succinctly.
