So I ...I like your genie metaphor--clever and apt. So I guess that leaves it up to us (parents and teachers) to guide kids to use it in moderation and when possible to use it as thinking tool rather than mere entertainment. I also suspect you are right about technology fueling ADHD. As more and more kids are diagnosed with ADHD (probably to some degree a result of said technology use), I keep waiting to hear about the advantages to having your mind wired that way. And also I wonder when and how the education system will adapt to teaching a different kind of brain. Should we merely accommodate that sort of fast paced craving, or should we attempt to fix it? Is ADHD really a problem to be fixed or just a different way of interacting with world?

Once you let the genie out of the bottle you can't put it back.<br />Luke is 15yrs now and I have been a believer that technology, X box and the like fuel his ADHD. They give him the opportunity to operate in a world that moves as fast as he does. Input, input, input. When he comes off it all the real world is boring. It just can't compete.
