Pioneering research shows 'Google Generation' is a myth
- paulsb 19y agoI was going to write something as well, but I grew impatient!
- motoko 19y agoThis sounds like "if it takes more effort, it must be better" nonsense. Further, I didn't see any mention of a control group. Are the children simply acting like children, or have their analytic skills actually deteriorated because of Internet use? I very strongly suspect the former.

I can't imagine what High School would have been like if the Internet had been taking off - I don't think I would have graduated.
