:agree1: Television is an even more mindless addiction. And the sad truth is many of us are not capable of controlling our minds and keeping focus, I know I struggle.

Not sure I can blame that entirely on the internet. I can get lost for hours in a dictionary (physical book, preferrably unabridged); look up one word, which reminds me of another word, which reminds me ... oh, wait, saw something on a page I was flipping past ...
Internet is just the new dictionary for me.

20 years ago, it was TV (the bad guy), 50 years ago (it was driving), probably 100 years ago it was books.

It seems the pattern is information and better ways it flows. I read an article may years ago that said something along the lines that Americans (from Europe decent) has a tendency to think new technology is the Devils product. Americans have an innate fear of new technology and only the next generation truly start to use it. From my observation, I see this to be mostly true. I grew up with computers, learning BASIC as I had a commidor VIC-20 and an Apple IIe. As I was a teen (mid 80's) and a young adult (early 90's) I knew more people who said "I don't know how to use a computer." Basically, to me they were saying 'computers scare me'.
