"As always, excellent observations. I always appreciate anyone who calls out *concern* for what is happening rather than just parroting the fodder. I especially appreciate how you call out the carryover of our Web-based ADD behavior to other activities, and the desensitization and lack of permanence that results (good or bad). The effects are best studied via neuroscience, and in particular neuroplasticity. It is undeniable that the persistent practice leads to permanence. As a result, this is not an issue of volition, but rather an issue of brain structure and function, which over time, becomes an evolutionary modification. Whether we extend the practice from one media to another, or one situation to another, is irrelevant, for biology trumps any manner of externalization <please pardon my terms-of-art, etc.>." - Casey Cuddy
