Their brains are rewarded
not for staying on task but for jumping
to the next thing. The worry is we're raising
a generation of kids in front of screens whose brains
are going to be wired differently.
-Michael Rich
this is a figure of speech isn't it?
i mean
we're not talking about the actual wiring of brains, are we?
maybe it would have been more accurate to say:
their priorities will be vastly different-
and we are all likely to suffer because of that

I agree with this, sort of. The media conditions humans in various ways. It would be difficult to verify precisely how this operates, but it can be noted: TV, movies, musick, sports, and now blogland. But it's not just the "lib-rawls" jh--Foxnews manipulates the Herd, along with the usual networks. Alas I doubt your spiritual models care much for Orwell, who was on to this decades ago. And let's not forget the billionaires who control the media empires: Bloomberg-o-cracy.
