The evil novel
Yup. You're right Alan. Every generation has faced this. Over a century or two ago, people frowned upon novels in the same way, for the potential to cause withdrawal, etc. But I think you're onto something when you say that it has "multiplied by 5" today. Probably a lot more than 5. It's the pace of change and the absolute ubiquitous bombardment that we've never seen before. I'm pleased to see "studies" like Dr. Sigman's, because we have to start thinking longer and harder about what's going on. We won't stop the technology avalanche, , nor am I advocating any neo-Ludditism to do so. But let's be aware of the effects and take it from there.
