Information Overflow of the Internet: Impact on Children

Dept. of cyberethnologica, kerleone, April 10, 2003 at 1:07:26 PM CEST

Spiegel today has a article (german) about the influence of the information overflow on children, how they change their habits, and how it may change the future of our culture.

Some really stupid things in there though. They compare PacMan with logic thinking in school, and as you can't concentrate on one thing in Pacman, they say, with this pacman-habit you can't be successfull in school. Oh my god!

Typical Spiegel-bullcrap. The world has heard this shit a zillion times since the arrival of radio (maybe even before that, if you count in the warnings about women's "immoral" reading habits in the 19th century), but it simply won't stop. Hogwash.

The world did hear this also with the inventions of the book press, and, as most people don't know, with the more and more common use of paper in the ancient greek age. They feared, people will forget more, since the can write everything down now and wouldn't practice their brain.
