Most interesting.
Some of the effects associated (for good reason) with being chronically online predate the Internet itself & are the unintended results of technological changes in media. I remember in the 1980's, slang terms for television included the "boob tube" & "idiot box". These terms were current because the effects of a steady diet of TV watching included reduced attention span, as well as more shallow cognition in general. It has been stated that in the 20th century, we went from a print civilization to a TV civilization...one could just as plausibly say in the late 1990's, we transitioned to an Internet civilization.
