Digital Nation

Current and ongoing studies are showing that multi-tasking and hi brain wave activity is proving to be counter productive.  South Korea has many problems with their youth and have opened centers known as internet rescue camps to help combat the growing problem.  I serious contrast is the concept of stimulating the student mind, but also allowing more room for free roaming.  This is very difficult for students because they're being show so much potential, but are leashed at the same time.

A very interesting outcome is how relationships have developed, and how virtual worlds have come to be.  Instead of making real connections, the sense of a connection is good enough.  This is being used to address issues such as trauma victims  from over seas.  The question to ask is, where are the limits to this potential?
