Modern man is too busy to think about the meaning of life. We are constantly running, constantly consuming, constantly distracting ourselves from the quiet voice inside us that asks: Why are we here?Andrei Tarkovsky
One of the problems of modern society, or the post-Internet age, is that there are so many things bombarding us that we could care about. I think it's more important than ever to really get clear and focus on what's worth caring about and what's just noise or distraction.Mark Manson
The age in which we live, this non-stop distraction, is making it more impossible for the young generation to ever have the curiosity or discipline... because you need to be alone to find out anything.Vivienne Westwood
Rock music has always embraced - and even represented - rebellion, rowdiness, and a robust disdain for social decorum. But along with more classical art forms like theater, opera, and the symphony, it's suffering from the distracted, smartphone-carrying audiences of the digital age.Elizabeth Flock
Censorship no longer works by hiding information from you; censorship works by flooding you with immense amounts of misinformation, of irrelevant information, of funny cat videos, until you're just unable to focus.Yuval Noah Harari
Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation.Jean Arp
Technology is so much fun but we can drown in our technology. The fog of information can drive out knowledge.Daniel J. Boorstin
When a person can't find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.Viktor E. Frankl
