Yea, I worry about kids growing up in this highly plugged in world. Computers and internet were around when I was a kid but it was different. Internet culture also seems to have a negative effect on memory and attention span along with decreasing real socialization.

I noticed even myself due to amount of time I spend on the internet the past decade have seen my short term memory and attention span completely erode from what it was my youth. I now struggle sitting through a whole movie in 1 sitting and struggle reading for an extended period of time. In fact I even struggle to start a movie or book because I am addicted to the internet and it appeals to my short attention span more. I've been trying to get myself to read more but only occasional pick up the books I'm reading.
