    NYT: Growing up, "WiReD" for distraction

    (sticky caps mine)

    This is a rather old one, sent along a while ago by Ellie, who writes:

    I’m pretty sick of NYT constantly kvetching about Youth Today, is all I can say.

    This story is pretty comprehensive, right? One thing struck me while watching the video and reading this:

    ….[Vishal’s] ability to be distracted by computers is rivaled by his proficiency with them. At the beginning of his junior year, he discovered a passion for filmmaking and made a name for himself among friends and teachers with his storytelling in videos made with digital cameras and editing software.

    Vishal, out of all of his friends, will probably be the only one with a decent media job.
