Prompt:
When considering the information you learned about language, attention/focus, and cognitive processing, what thoughts came to mind? Based upon the information shared, do you believe we are setting up the young children of today for success or for failure? Should we be alarmed at the pace with which technology is presenting new information and decreasing the need for sustained attention or is this simply a change to which we need to become accustomed? From an evolutionary perspective, is this true advancement or could this be cause for concern when considering long-term effects? Thoughts?
