Talking on the phone while emailing, texting while driving, blogging a political speech--humans are more connected than ever before. But there's a cost. Author Maggie Jackson says if we're not careful, focusing on a single task could become a lost art, something you might see at a historic village. In her new book Distracted, she says multi-tasking could bring on a new Dark Age.
Monday morning at 9, Jackson joins us for a focused conversation.
