Study, carried out last year, revealed that it takes an average of 64 seconds to recover your train of thought after interruption by email. This means that people who check their email every five minutes waste a whole working day - or 8.5 hours a week - figuring out what they were doing moments before. More...

^LoL, people have flipped for a lot less. Most good plots won't show you what happen [in detail] but rather the result. Mainly because it adds an element of surprise which makes the movie more interesting whilst engaging the audience by getting them to think about what took place. A good example would be the Movie Con Air there is a scene when the psycho [Garland Greene] is talking to this little girl...this is the same guy who said....One girl, I drove through three states wearing her head as a hat Anyway, the next thing you know the action shifts elsewhere and you assume that director just didn’t have the heart to show you the deplorable acts of evil Greene performed on the little girl, but that you’ll somehow be informed of it later. Yet, as Con Air takes off for a second time, out trots the little girl, perfectly unharmed, to wave goodbye at Greene as he flies away.

O’ What a Day!
