The problem is that human attention, unlike technology, has limits. There are only so many digital inputs we can realistically pay quality attention to in our busy, multitasked lives. Demands for our attention have outstripped our finite supply of time. A crash is coming, folks. But this time it's not financial -- it's personal.

"Crackberry" crises and attention re-allocation could be in the future as everyone begins to feel the stress of being connected 24/7.

When you cut back on media, what will you leave out? Ads? Television shows? Social media from your friends? Answering emails? This is an open question, but it could be the next big 'bust."
