I understand his situation...he's a victim of the internut crash...

Information overload. A very easy trap to fall into.

I was listening to some elementary school teachers that were mulling over the internet and how it's affected the children in the school environment. Not encouraging. They were elementary teachers before the internet and taught in a school system where the children had general internet access, i.e, the large majority did.

Their observation was that children are changing. They are far more passive and their attention spans are significantly lower than prior to the internet. Not scientific by any means, so I wouldn't make any firm conclusions, but it suggests possibilities that are not desirable.
