As far as I can tell, one of the biggest changes across organizations over the past few years is simply the rise of distraction. The default often appears to be a kind of continuous partial attention. I'm not sure whether it's good or bad. Maybe people were suboptimally stuck before, and perhaps there are gains to being able to allocate attention more flexibly? Or maybe it's bad because meetings become even less efficient and our ability to focus (already under assault!) withers further. Either way, it's a striking new normal.
