Reaction to the Article "Attatched to Technology and Paying a Price"

My first reaction to this article was that Mr. Campbell was way in over his head in regards to multi-tasking. His "work station" was comprised of 3 computer monitors and sometimes an iphone or an ipad with numerous windows displayed on each one. I do not believe I fully understand and actually oppose the idea that people blame technology for being distracted when they have a primary responsibility to accomplish. In my mind, I believe everyone has the power and control over their environments and because the person blames technology for their mishaps they are making excuses for the actions in which they "chose" to persue. If you miss an assignment, regardless of what or whome it is for, and you blame your failure on a pop-up or tweet then you are scared and insecure about the fact that you chose to do a leisure function rather than accomplishing what you absolutely need to finish.
