The guy who collaborated on this study is the same dude behind the famous STANFORD PRISON STUDY of 1971. The man knows psychology. But is he right about video games and porn?

Here is the THESIS:
Quote:
Young men -- who play video games and use porn the most -- are being digitally rewired in a totally new way that demands constant stimulation. And those delicate, developing brains are being catered to by video games and porn-on-demand, with a click of the mouse, in endless variety.
Such new brains are also totally out of sync in traditional school classes, which are analog, static and interactively passive. Academics are based on applying past lessons to future problems, on planning, on delaying gratifications, on work coming before play and on long-term goal-setting.

My rebuttal to him would be: don't MUSIC VIDEOS present information/stimulation the same way? Nobody's getting their panties in a bunch about music vids, right?
