Hi,

I think the focus features will be great for anyone who is easily distracted, 
including people with ADD and similar issues. I think it's great that they are 
making it possible for people with more and more different kinds of needs to 
use these devices. The great thing is that you can use the features you need 
and ignore the rest.

Cheers,
Anna
