The Isolator Mar 30, 2014

Then, you will perhaps start to concentrate on the Isolator helmet itself. After all, it is an add-on for you.

Wouldn't work... Mar 30, 2014

Most of the things that distract me are already inside my head.

I'm not sure where the need for coffee is located, but it would not help with that either

Indeed, Christine, that's true.

Please, Tom can you tell us about another isolator than can isolate us rather from

our inner distractions!

May... See more

It makes my son concentrate on his network.

Instead of working.

Beware unintended consequences Mar 30, 2014

If something like that ever actually worked, I predict that agencies would immediately add an item on their translator data forms demanding to know if we use any kind of distraction-reducing device. If so, we would be incessantly pressured to provide discounts because it increases our productivity.
