So as you become too withered and old for logic, the creative part of the brain has to assume control to creatively fill in the logical gaps.
Seems like you'd still be living in fantasy even if the right side was properly developed.

Also... are we suggesting video games don't inspire creative development? I mean... they're a part of this new tech age.

How does playing a video game inspire creative development?
 
Can't wait to see what happens to these "young" tech users when they get older (40s, 50s). I too am glad that I grew up before we allowed technology to invade our lives.
 
The beautiful thing is, if this is true, I'll be too old to care by the time the dimensia sets in AND I'll get to enjoy all the inventions these robotic super children make me!
 
using photoshop is creative though and you do what in front of the computer.

Nothing creative about playing video games, minecraft maybe but that's it.

Anyway steam trains were supposed to provocate mental issues too because they were too fast and we're fine. Different doesn't mean worse.

If I had a kid I would limit their tech and TV as my TV was when I was young. No more than two hours a week.

The trouble is that there are no friends to play with. They're all staring at some kind of screen.

"Multitasking" is not a skill. It's a PC word for "can't stay focused".

Yes. The brain can't actually process more than one thing at a time. It just jumps from one thing to another really fast, like a single core processor.

I think our kids would do much better in school and life of they practiced the focus and concentration one does during meditation.

Isn't the left brain/right brain thing a total myth anyways? Or is it one of those terms that is just used because they've kept the consequential meaning?
