The Negative Effects of Full Spectrum Awareness

Full spectrum awareness pertains to so many different things, right? So it could be my porousness to getting a work email while we're having that great conversation at a bar or getting a CNN update about a child being kidnapped. This just constant connectivity, constant ability to be notified about things that have nothing to do with the experience that you're currently engaged in. Do you think that there's any type of upside at all to that sort of full spectrum awareness or is it purely negative?
