Is too much technology a distraction?

This shouldn't be only about students, but about everyone. When is technology too much of a distraction to find answers?

It's the porn that distracts us, actually.

They say you've got ADD, but it's hardly fair when they're so goddamn boring.

The problem's plain to see...
Too much technology...
Machines to save our lives...
Machines dehumanize...

*awesome guitar riff*

Really, though, that crap about not being able to find what you want is... well, crap.

When I search for French Revolution, do I get pages about toast? No. Hell, no. I get stuff about the French Revolution.

And that was all they covered. Woo, Google sometimes gets you information you don't want. That makes technology bad. :(

Technology often does give you an advantage as long as you know how to use it.
