  2. Do media devices cause short attention spans?

    do the devices cause people to care more for their virtual lives then their real lives?

    can you get away from media? From cell phones you can listen to music, watch movies, and can even access the internet. and everyone has one.

    does the new virtual world (facebook,twitter) give everyone too loud of a voice? Because if your in a room with everybody yelling are you going to listen to anyone?

  8. Bear in mind that following link contains language and, potentially, images that are not exactly work safe:

    I mentioned this in class but I'm not sure anyone quite got what I meant. I thought the commentary this provided on the subject of online disinhibition (search those two words on wikipedia for a more academic approach to the idea) was amusingly relevant.

    This Toyota commercial also provides a hilarious commentary on the subject.
