Have you ever tried sitting in front of the computer for two minutes and doing absolutely nothing?

He has been thinking about how we spend every waking minute of the day with access to an unlimited supply of information, website owner Alex Tew - some may be familiar with the "Million Dollar Homepage" he launched - told Tech Crunch. There is also evidence that our brains are being rewired by the internet, "because we get a little dopamine kick every time we check our emails or Faceboo and Twitter statuses". So we all suffer a little from attention deficit disorder, which has a negative impact on our productivity, says Tew.
