We are almost certainly the most over stimulated in human history. It's no wonder that the incidence of ADHD, stress and anxiety disorders, which are largely driven by stimuli, have gone up. I know this as well, basically being on a computer and multitasking since I was 9 years old, I am addicted to the stimuli and increasingly so. Most people don't like to get bored or sit around and do nothing, yet in the past they had little choice. Now, you can not only keep your mind occupied, you can do it instantly, without effort and ad nauseam.
Well said, thanks for your insight.
