mindlessness

I am sitting here trying to write something for the open prompt blog that's due for next class and I'm completely stuck. For a half an hour I have been mindless starring at the T.V. During commercial breaks I would look down at the computer and try to think again. But once "Gilmore Girls" cam back on I was hopelessly distracted. I find that I do this most of the time I try to do homework. I can spend hours on one assignment just because I am too busy trying to multitask and watch T.V. at the same time. But why don't I just turn off the T.V.? could this be because I'm addicted to watching T.V.? I can also catch myself getting on Facebook if I'm doing work on the computer or texting throughout my study time. I know I'm not the only one who does this. I think it could very well be a sign that today's generation may be addicted to technology.
