Presentations

I loved the way all of the books that the different groups read were all connected. Many of them brought up some of the same points such as ADD to argue slightly different points.  I did enjoy reading Rapt because the content was interesting, but the writing wasn't very good.  Most of the presenters said that about their books.  I wonder if that subject lends itself to poor writing?  More possible is the fact that most people who are writing on subjects like the internet, psychology, and attention did not study English very extensively in college.  I for one will be taking only the minimum amount of English possible to graduate.  After reading Rapt, I am more aware of  how I focus and my focus problems.  I have found that I do have trouble focusing for long periods of time unless I am in what the author described as a flow state.  Where time seems to loose meaning because I become so engrossed in what I am doing.  Unfortunately for me I almost never find that state of mind while I am doing schoolwork, only when I am reading for fun.
