The Tyranny of Tabs

I hate hyperlinks.

Any hyperlink embedded into articles I'm reading, I'm always compelled to open it in a new tab. Read the next article, and then there are more links and more tabs are opened.  In five minutes, I'm swamped with dozens of tabs in one browser.

It's annoying. Before I know it, I will have wasted hours after just trying to read a few articles.

It gets worse if you're part of any social networking site. There's suggested links, twitpics, youtube videos, etc. 

And so, my friends, I give you "The Hierarchy of Digital Distractions." (via swissmiss).
