I recently read a quote about Julian Assange:
> Sometimes he would stand up from his computer and perform a set of twenty or so jumping jacks, explaining to anyone present that short bouts of physical activity served a certain neurobiological function that made stimulant drugs unnecessary.
I would also contend the fact we are now a "knowledge economy" is the reason why its become prevalent.
We have to sit at desks longer and focus on singular tasks. Which is the bane of ADD.
