It's part of a series exploring the ways in which our inability to put down the iphone(or whatever) and the constant influx of "input" such devices bombard us with, for more than five seconds may or may not be making us dumber and less creative as a society.  I think you can navigate from here back to older articles in the series that talk more about the good things "downtime" does for the brain too.
