A little Saab history for you…

I Heart Saabs, so it’s no surprise that I was excited to stumble across this chart on their facebook page. It was fun to find the four different models that I’ve owned over the years!

Is the internet changing how we think? Great article on cnn.com…

“But I came to realize, some time in 2007, that I was losing my ability to pay deep attention to one thing over a long period of time. When I’d sit down to read a book, for instance, I was only able to sustain my concentration for a page or two. My mind would begin to crave stimulation and distraction — it wanted to click on links, jump from page to page, check email, do some Googling.” So says Nicholas Carr, author of new book, “The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to our Brains” in his interview with cnn.com.

I can relate to Nicholas and his findings — the internet has a profound change on how we approach everything, and even on our basic level of patience. It’s creating a world of instant gratification and even I find myself to be impatient at times. What do you mean we have to wait for it to be shipped? I want in now, with just one click. But, Nicholas also talks about a more simple concept — our ability to concentrate on any one thing for a longer period of time. To lose that ability could change everything. Read the whole article here — it’s worth the read, if you can stay focused that long.
