Fullterton explains how new technology can be used to reduce distractions and increase focus. Fullterton gives the example of Macfreedom, a new application that has been created to help thwart our impulse to use the internet every other second of the day. Macfreedom restricts access to the internet for a period of time set by the user, a restriction that can only be over-ridden by a system reboot. Fullterton calls for a new attitude in software design that is just as much about respecting your user as it is about trying to get him or her to use your product.
