On "Attached to Technology and Paying the Price" by Matt Ritchel

Hey,

First of all, this post is not by Matt Ritchel, the article titled "Attached to Technology and Paying the Price" is by Matt Ritchel.  It was in the June 6, 2010 edition of the New York Times.  Basically, this article basically goes over how this one guy, Kord Campbell, a web programmer, and his family are so dependent on technology.  It also looks at several studies about technologies effect on the brain and how good multitaskers and poor multitaskers can work in different situations.  For instance, poor multitaskers can pay attention to one thing out of a mess of things.  But pretty much, it all makes sense.  Not that I am a person to criticize university studies, but the way all of it is explained is easy to comprehend.  I do like the part that says how avid internet users can get better brain activity.  That makes me feel better for spending way too much time on here!

That's all for now folks,
-sal
