What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains

9547bis says...

This.
People were just as shallow when watching five hours of TV every day.
Besides, Carr's book has been debunked as being not much more than an appealing idea based on anecdotal evidence. It's just a Gladwellism. Which is why it's not surprising to see it being bought wholesale by so many.

(As a side note, another crowd that's an easy prey to Gladwellism: young adults with an annoying voice parroting ideas in Youtube videos.)

The internet as a medium is neutral about whether or not you switch your focus from cat videos to panda attacks to Ron Paul every 3 seconds. If you so choose, you can just as easily concentrate on one singular point of interest on the internet for "a few minutes" (or a few hours), allowing your brain to "learn something" and transfer from your short term to your long term memory.

This guy is the 2000's versions of all the parents in the 60's, 70's, and 80's yelling at their kids to drag their asses outside and DO SOMETHING instead of sitting around watching the boob tube all day.

How you doing, Richard? You alright?

Bill is starting to take down his new material much like Jimmy Carr did when he was starting to get really popular.
Replaced with a shorter version of the same bit. Will keep on looking for the full length.

I'm curious how the re-telling is going.... Carr had some incredibly nuanced timing being utilized to make that joke be as funny as it was. Have you captured it? Or does it not matter as much as I think it does?

Field report! Field report please!

Your joke compilation had some material previously unknown to me, so let me tip my hat to you as well. The mosquito joke will be used extensively over the next couple of days.

Jimmy Carr won this video by far.

Big fan of Jim Jeffries' comedy. He has a TV show called Legit premiering on FX in a couple of weeks.

Anyone know what that British show is that they had 2 clips of and looked like the stage of Whose Line is it Anyway? Looks like a show I might like to watch.
