The truth about the media--we are all multitasking and paper is so physical

Forget Blogs, Print Needs Its Own IPod - New York Times: "According to a nifty piece of polling, directed by Bob Papper of Ball State University in Muncie, Ind., and released last week, average Americans spend more time online, on the phone, punching the remote, the radio and the game console than they do sleeping - a total of nine hours a day. And much of the time, they are using more than one medium simultaneously, answering e-mail messages while returning calls with a TV buzzing in the background." And let's not forget electronic paper which has been vaporware but seems to be materializing in 2006. Shucks, wasn't that the year they predicted it in the "googlebot" movie?
