Model 3  As I See it, …
Maria:  I’ve got to do two assignments this week, but the Internet is not always a timer saver.
Jessica: Searching on the Internet? Don't’t you think it’s hard to find the right information for your
       assignments?
Maria:  No, just the opposite. There’s too much information. I start looking for one thing, and see
       something else. Before I know it, I’m completely off topic.
Jessica: Well, as I see it, you should focus on what you are doing and not get distracted¹.
Maria:  But, the point is that it’s very hard to stay on one topic when other topics keep flashing and
       jumping out at you!
