Fwd: :: TALO :: The REAL brain drain: Modern technology - including violent video games - is changing the way our brains work, says neuroscientist

[Steven Parker]

 

Woo hoo, oh to be a cartoon character in a virtual world it's almost like you're actually there...

 

'Human identity, the idea that defines each and every one of us, could be facing an unprecedented crisis.

It is a crisis that would threaten long-held notions of who we are, what we do and how we behave. It goes right to the heart - or the head - of us all.

This crisis could reshape how we interact with each other, alter what makes us happy, and modify our capacity for reaching our full potential as individuals.

And it's caused by one simple fact: the human brain, that most sensitive of organs, is under threat from the modern world. '
