“What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.” (H. Simon, Communications and the Public Interest, 1971.)

I definitely agree that it is better to use the old school method of using pen, pencil, paper. I have always seen that with this method, only two interfaces are involved – brain and the place where the idea is morphed physically (ie paper, etc). Somehow, I feel I bring a third interface ie computer when I am working with that method. I can write an excellent essay on a piece of paper but only mediocre version on computer screen. So I try to look online only when I need to get some info and use as much pencil/paper thing. and that includes even daily to do lists, calendars, etc
