Dave Eggers on Internet Distraction
















PSFK - "Dave Eggers On His Latest Novel And The State Of The USA"

Q: Is it true you write without the distraction of the internet? Do you think the internet helps or hinders thought processes?

Eggers: I’ve never had WiFi at home. I’m too easily distracted, and YouTube is too tempting. About eight years ago, I had a DSL line for about three months, and I remember waking up one day, thinking I’d spend a few minutes on YouTube before getting to work. Next time I looked up, it was 1pm, and I was watching a 20-year-old video by Kajagoogoo. That proved that I couldn’t have WiFi at home.
