The video entitled Big Thinkers: Howard Gardner on Digital Youth raised an interesting question. The question of interest to me is; Does digital media have a negative impact on kids' attention span?
If one simply looks around, the answer seems rather obvious, it is simply a matter of acknowledging the unfavorable effect.
It seems digital-children can no longer pay attention to anything that is not entertaining or stimulating. Not just teens, but relationships between family and friends are affected negatively. Notice digital participants choose not to interact with present company apparently because there is something more interesting elsewhere. #cmc11
