Link of the Day - Everything Bad is Good For You
Today's Link:
Everything Bad is Good For You
We referenced an article today in which the author of this book, Steven Johnson, takes a look at today's political attacks on video games. Johnson's book is a recommended read.
In his fourth book, Everything Bad Is Good for You, iconoclastic science writer Steven Johnson (who used himself as a test subject for the latest neurological technology in his last book, Mind Wide Open) takes on one of the most widely held preconceptions of the postmodern world--the belief that video games, television shows, and other forms of popular entertainment are detrimental to Americans' cognitive and moral development. Everything Good builds a case to the contrary that is engaging, thorough, and ultimately convincing.
