We need our distraction in order to further our commitment to information. We need a constant flow of information, even if it means interrupting what we are doing, whether sitting in the office or the church pew. When we are disconnected from our sources of information, we feel as though we are disconnected from the world, as if life will move on without us. We find joy and life in that information—not in using that information or turning that information into useful action, but simply in its constant flow.
