Well this explains just about everything

Dr. Edward Hallowell a psychiatrist specializing in ADD did a little interview with Alorie Gilbert over at news.com. Dr. Hallowell’s research is now focusing on ADT(attention deficit trait), which he says is the result of over exposure to all of the digital toys that make lives like mine worth living. Essentially Dr Hollowell is saying the more time I spend in front of a computer, the more I become a moron who’s skull is nothing more than a fancy Jello mold. Great news indeed!

Q: What is ADT?
Hallowell: It’s sort of like the normal version of attention deficit disorder. But it’s a condition induced by modern life, in which you’ve become so busy attending to so many inputs and outputs that you become increasingly distracted, irritable, impulsive, restless and, over the long term, underachieving. In other words, it costs you efficiency because you’re doing so much or trying to do so much, it’s as if you’re juggling one more ball than you possibly can.
