Multitasking, upływ czasu, tu i teraz
Wpis na bloga. SMS od profesora. Przyszedł e-mail. Kończy się "The Beginning And The End" (sic).
Dwa cytaty z "Time'a", o generacji M (jak "mobile"):
"Although multitasking kids may be better prepared in some ways for today's frenzied workplace, many cognitive scientists are positively alarmed by the trend. 'Kids that are instant messaging while doing homework, playing games online and watching TV, I predict, aren't going to do well in the long run,' says Jordan Grafman, chief of the cognitive neuroscience section at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
On the positive side, Gen M students tend to be extraordinarily good at finding and manipulating information. And presumably because modern childhood tilts toward visual rather than print media, they are especially skilled at analyzing visual data and images, observes Claudia Koonz, professor of history at Duke University."

"'The problem,' says Sudbury, Massachusetts, psychiatrist and author Edward Hallowell, 'is what you are not doing if the electronic moment grows too large' --too large for the teenager and too large for those parents who are equally tethered to their gadgets.
In that case, says Hallowell, 'you are not having family dinner, you are not having conversations, you are not debating whether to go out with a boy who wants to have sex on the first date, you are not going on a family ski trip or taking time just to veg. It's not so much that the video game is going to rot your brain, it's what you are not doing that's going to rot your life'."
Grzechem byłoby nie podsumować tych uwag odnośnikiem do wirtualnego miejsca, w którym kończy się Internet.A bardziej poważnie i refleksyjnie: Obecność w cyberprzestrzeni Johna Sulera. Duże "o" zamierzone. Tekst z dedykacją dla wszystkich, którym czas ucieka przez palce...
