Here on HN, this should obviously be considered a market opportunity!

I'm considering a startup to make millennial blinders:

Of course, being an aging boomer, using an 85" monitor isn't decreasing my focus at all. I just look at the part of the screen I'm using at the moment.

Personally I find it helpful to be able to spread windows out on that giant screen so that any one of them is instantly available at a glance (and I still use 8 "desktops"). Of course, I also don't reboot, well maybe once or twice a year after a kernel update. So setting all those windows up isn't something I do every time I sit at the computer.

I do feel sorry for the generations born into internet brain damage (seriously). My son is GenZ and (thankfully) struggles with the typical symptoms less than others, but is still affected.

This is clearly a consequence of growing up with constantly network connected hand held computers, and the maliciously crafted web platforms that exploited that constant connectedness.
