Technology Induced ADD?
Technology Induced ADD?
03/28/2005 04:34 PMFor the most part, when we hear stories about psychologists naming a
new problem related to technology, we make the obvious assumption that
they're trying to get some attention to drum up business. This leads
to publicity over things like
web
addiction,
video
game addiction,
inter
net addiction,
text
messaging addiction and many other such claims. While it's nice
to at least see the latest technology-induced problem a psychologist
describes is
not called an addiction, it still sounds a bit
overstated. A psychologist who studies attention deficit disorder
(ADD) is now claiming that many people in today's high tech workplace
are
suffering from a related disorder he calls attention deficit
trait (ADT). The concept is that you're not born with ADT, but
it's induced by a workplace that forces you to multi-task all the time
-- and that it's easily cured by getting out of that environment. He
also claims that "multi-tasking" is impossible for humans, which some
might disagree with -- but he does make some valid points on getting
people to occasionally stop and actually think about things. Taking a
longer term viewpoint is often very useful. Still, it's not clear
that it's really reached the "epidemic" stage that this guy claims.
If anything, it seems that as more companies recognize the importance
of a better work/life balance, this becomes less of an issue. That
means not doing stupid things like
banni
ng solitaire -- which acts as a mental break, or trying
desperately to
stop
all personal activities at work. In fact, the psychologist points
out that it's often the tech companies who are better able to diffuse
this "ADT" stuff by understanding the importance of "play" at work.
As such ideas diffuse more widely into the workplace, it seems like
this problem shouldn't be such a big issue.

Snow Induced Laziness
02/07/2003 10:52 PMTwelve inches of snow has fallen here in Massachusetts. It's a
light snow. Someone told me it was perfect for skiing, but I tend to
find it perfect for relaxing indoors watching old
favorites. But then again, I'm not a skier.
I'm pretty sure Total
Choice Hosting is going to be my new webhost soon. They have a
good reseller program, and a great price at twenty clams a month.
They came recommended by Noel,
and I've read many good things about them. For those of you with
slightly more money to spare than myself, Hard Hat Hosting seems to be
a really good provider run by some good people. I'd still like recommendations on
hosting providers if you have them, I still have a couple days to make
up my mind.
WiFi Induced Theft
WiFi Induced Theft
09/08/2004 05:26 AMThere have been plenty of random complaints about WiFi, but now
there's one more "worry" to be associated with WiFi: all these
hotspots may
m
ake it easier for your laptop to get stolen. Or, at least, that
seems to be the point of this article from Silicon.com that complains
that many hotspot providers aren't the sort of place you should feel
comfortable whipping out your expensive laptops. They suggest (along
with a tremendous amount of hedging) that these hotspot providers are
encouraging people to take out laptops where it might not be safe.
This seems like something of a stretch. Does common sense really
leave people behind at the first whiff of an available WiFi
connection? If the location isn't safe, people should recognize that
on their own, and it should have nothing to do with the WiFi
availability.

Zombie-Induced Rest
07/27/2004 08:03 PMQuestioning the overall ability of major sites to withstand a
concerted attack yet? Following yesterday's story about
Google
being knocked offline, today it's
DoubleClick who was the
victim of a distributed denial of service attack from zombie
machines. The attack knocked the company offline, impacting many of
their customers, who probably aren't particularly happy. A number of
major sites running DoubleClick ads ended up loading very slowly as
they couldn't call home to get their ads. As the article notes, this,
and the
attack
on Akamai last month, (much more so than yesterday's tangential
denial of service attack at the hands of a search engine loving virus)
are starting to demonstrate some key trouble points on the internet.

X-Files actor invents gadget to prevent

X-Files actor invents gadget to prevent
laptop-induced infertility
12/24/2004 12:09 PMActor Dean Haglund of the X-Files has invented the Chill Pak, a
cooling system for computer laptops, which were identified in a recent
study as potentially lowering sperm counts in men.
Haglund's Chill Pak is a freezable mat designed for placement beneath
a laptop to cool the CPU, which tends to overheat when users run
today's computer programs. Not only does this cooling action allow the
laptop to run faster and more smoothly, it also prevents the
overheating attributed to male infertility. The Chill Pak is encased
in a condensation-free material to protect the electronics from
moisture.
Haglund inadvertently discovered this innovation while recovering from
a knee injury. Haglund recalls, "I was watching a movie on my laptop,
and it kept locking up on me. The ice pack protecting my knee injury
accidentally slid underneath my laptop, and the movie immediately
began playing, trouble-free. I realized the cooling action of the ice
pack was the key." Haglund immediately launched his Chill Pak
invention through his own company Geek Chic, which is scheduled for
beta-testing with Time Warner Cable employees nationwide. The Chill
Pak can also be personalized with corporate logos.

David Pescovitz:

I love this video of Honda's new-and-improved
Asimo robot running. He
moves like a cute old man chasing a bus. From the
press
release:
"The combination of newly developed high-response hardware
and the new Posture Control technology enables ASIMO to proactively
bend or twist its torso to maintain its balance and prevent the
problems of foot slippage and spinning in the air, which accompany
movement at higher speeds. ASIMO is now capable of running at a speed
of 3km/hour. In addition, walking speed has been increased from the
previous 1.6 km/hour to 2.5 km/hour."
