Your born to be programmed
Earlier this evening, I was leaving a friends house and a Cadillac Escalade pulled in front of me. From the backseat, a huge mobile screen (the size of a laptop) was playing "Talladegra Nights." As I pulled next to the Escalade, I noticed two kids sitting in the back seat focused intently on the screen.
I couldn't help but think that nowadays kids can't escape the influence media plays in their lives. It's constantly placed in front of them: On the Internet, the television and now the convenient way mom or dad places a media screen in the backseat of their car. It's too easy for me to believe that we (as consumers) have made it too easy for the media to effect us. Sometimes I think we blame the media too much for what's within our own power to control. ¶ posted by Anonymous at 10:03 PM •

And let's think that through: what are the effects of this constant exposure? Any link to the rise in ADD?
What does this mean for the education system?
Oh, and double-check that spelling and grammar. "You're/Your" and "affect/effect" are common problems that we should try to clean up.
