Recently we had an insightful At The Spotlight visit from Distraction Expert Curt Steinhorst, who’s spent years the impact of tech on our behaviour. He thinks we’ve come upon a moment in human history where several factors have converged to make us more vulnerable that we’ve ever been to distractions.

He goes into details in the video above—doing so in a entertaining and informative way, which makes sense for a speaker who knows just how much distraction he’s competing with when he gets up in front of an audience.
