Re: Changes in our brains from online activity This article provides food for thought. In a related topic, studies have shown that watching excessive amounts television can scramble the brains of young children. Interestingly, the neurological damage doesn't depend on the actual content of the programming. It seems that the flashing screen itself is the cause, and the effects are cumulative. Parents who sit their toddlers in front of "Baby Einstein" videos may be doing more harm than good.
