The US cut 'excessive entertainment' from TV in the late 80s, and removed the last vestiges of entertainment by the mid 90s, leaving today's mix of reality shows and other garbage as the only things on.
I don't want to be treated by a doctor whose religious beliefs, no matter what they are, are so much more powerful than their ability to reason that they walk out of a an evolution lecture. These are people who are entering an evidence based discipline, and a bigot (yes, I use the word correctly) has no place in such a field.
I don't think it's unreasonable to ask your doctor their thoughts on evolution, refusing their services and branding them 'mental pigmies' based on their response, irrespective of their religious beliefs or lack thereof.
But then, I don't live in the US nor the middle east, so I can afford to do that.
Correlation does not equal causation.
It could be that those with more grey matter are more attracted to games - rather than that the games are changing the brains.
Eg. Doctors appear to be, on average, smarter than Athletes. Playing sport changes your brain and decreases your intelligence?
Climate engineering. It's just a matter of time.
And it will be a disaster. But I'll survive with or without it. As for the rest of you... good luck with that.
Given that there are schools that have to be forced to teach Evolution, is it that surprising that there are technophobic schools as well? If you can't use a computer better than your parents by the time you're 10, there's something very wrong.
As a licensed private investigator, I can tell you - no matter what you do, you leave data all over the place.
The question is not "how do you stop this"... it's "how do you stop caring".
This horse bolted YEARS ago, and the fact that people are only now noticing that the gate is open is hilarious to those of us in the know.

Of course! This explains Maxwell Smart's apparent cognitive issues!
There's a low risk they have intelligence...

Who knew "Team America" had an IT Department?

I presume we're not talking about 'Fracking' in the Battlestar Galactica sense... If we are, then someone may be doing it wrong.

This is at least 2-year-old science. It might even have been 3 years ago I was reading this in a journal.
Jailbreak for iPad2 is in the works? Ummm... Mine is already jailbroken. Has been for several months.
