글의 요지로 가장 적절한 것은?
How do you describe the times we live in, so connected and yet fractured? Linda Stone, a former Microsoft techie, characterizes ours as an era of continuous partial attention. At the extreme end are teenagers instant-messaging while they are talking on the cell phone, downloading music and doing homework. But adults too live with all systems go, interrupted and distracted, scanning everything, multi-technological-tasking everywhere. We suffer from the illusion, Stone says, that we can expand our personal bandwidth, connecting to more and more. Instead, we end up overstimulated, overwhelmed and, she adds, unfulfilled.

Modern technology helps us to enrich our lives.

We live in an age characterized by lack of full attention.

Family bond starts to weaken as a result of smart phone development.

The older generation can be as technologically smart as the younger one.

글의 요지는 "We live in an age characterized by lack of full attention."(우리는 온전한 주의력의 결여로 특징지어지는 시대에 산다)이다.
Linda Stone 은 지금을 "an era of continuous partial attention"(지속적인 부분적 주의의 시대)이라 규정하고, 10대와 어른 모두 "interrupted and distracted"(방해받고 산만한) 상태로 결국 "overstimulated, overwhelmed and unfulfilled"하게 된다고 말한다.
"Modern technology helps us to enrich our lives."는 기술이 오히려 공허함을 낳는다는 글의 논지와 반대다.
"Family bond starts to weaken…"은 가족 유대에 관한 언급이 글에 없다.
"The older generation can be as technologically smart…"는 세대 간 기술 능력 비교로, 글의 초점이 아니다.
