Fascinating article. Not that it comes as a big surprise - having taught in a high school, I've noticed that kids seem to have less ability to put effort into work, projects, life in general than I did at that age (and I was only a few years older at the time!). Whether that's a multitasking-thing in particular or a technology and "ease of life"-thing in general I'm not sure.
