Very interesting, all these links. I do agree that our current use of technology may be rewiring our brains in new and interesting ways, and that not all these changes are positive. I don't get why kids just say "yuck" and "wow" when playing video games, though. I have noticed a big change in how kids communicate- both verbally and in written form- over the past few decades, and I do think that change is related to how they spend their leisure time. I guess the question is in whether these changes are detrimental to the future of the human race.
