The day, (today’s) start, (content) its getting late:
My brother wrote, what I thought to be an interesting blog today over at “the Space.” I like the style and the topic is of course, timely.
In other topical news of me, and my day to day life, I read the cover story of Time magazine this week and thought that it was immensely interesting. "Are kids too wired for their own good?" discussed the “M generation” (media generation) and how wired everyone is (particularly kids and adolescents); to the corruption of family values, the reformatting of our brains and overall detriment of attention spans. The ever-increasing prevalence of adolescents (and adults) to multi task, every day, in every thing is at an all time high and rising. It was not a surprise finding and quite understandable to see why this has been a developing problem in our overanxious, speedy, uber-efficient world. As many Time magazine articles do, it plugged some books, on topics I think are really interesting and “study-worthy”-- the kind of studies that I find myself asking, “Why didn’t I think to devote my life to studying something I find so interesting!?” Sherry Turkle recently reissued her book, "The Second Self: Computers and the Human Spirit" addressing her findings in studies on the growing importance of the relationship of Computers in our lives. Also noteworthy, the book, "CrazyBusy," by psychiatrist, Edward Hallowell, in which he talks about “screensucking” and the endless black hole that places like the Internet can be for us, if we let them.

It is getting entirely too late (and I've been on the computer entirely too long tonight).
Have fun getting lost in the worldWideweb of possibility, endless distractions, and almighty knowledge.
goodnight.
