I’m working my way through this paper published back in 2006 by William Powers, a national media critic.  There is a book with the same title, which will be published in July.  The following is a quote from the publisher:

“At a time when everyone, from big businesses to ordinary individuals, is trying to make sense of their connected lives, ‘Hamlet’s Blackberry’ presents a bold new paradigm for understanding the devices that now demand so much of our time and attention. Written in a lively, engaging style, ‘Hamlet’s BlackBerry’ shows how our computers and mobile devices are changing the way we think, feel, and relate to others. While these technologies are tremendously helpful, they are also becoming our greatest burden, making it harder for us to focus and think clearly, do our best work and achieve the depth and fulfillment we crave.”

I can’t help but think that Percy would be interested in this topic.
