egoldstein says:

This is a very interesting idea. I wonder if as our brains are being trained to consume more information in less time, are we losing the ability to patiently listen, think, feel and learn because we're too quickly moving on to the next bit of information we need to process?

Describes my job to a T.

Vastly more information, much less understanding, less accuracy, and for more hours in the week.

                                The Twitter Singularity? 
Perhaps Twitter is even part of our evolutionary process, like that initial adaptation we now call neuro-plasticity during that first evolutionary venture, during that first mutation of brain cells? Perhaps our brains are now being pushed to increase our base processing power – in lock step with the increasing speed of computer processors and search engines? Like the boundaryless twitterverse, where is the boundary between our brains and the Internet?
