My girl friend's 15 year old daughter is like that.
She needs LOTS of entertainment too.

Nearly impossible to have a non-drama day.

This seems to be more a part of the normal, for today's youth.

Think of it, when you were young. If there was not anything on TV
while you were at home, (good chance that there wasn't, with the
selection of perhaps 5 channels if you lived near a big city) what did
you do to pass the time? You probably entertained yourself. Things I
did were to ride a bike around the neighborhood, dig another extension
to my tunnels out in the woods, build a blanket fort (smaller years)
read a book, tear something apart and put it back together again, (the
last part was optional g) play with your toys, go roller skating,
....... and the list goes on.


Torture small animals, set fire to stuff. find out what happend when you
hit a .22 shell with a hammer, try to run your dad's car on MEK. Try to
run your dog on MEK. Find out why it says "do not puncture or incinerate
" on a can of blue spray paint. Work out time speed distance
calculations on the overpass at your local freeway....


Good clean fun!

Ponder (for the length your short attention span permits) just what
you typed above and parse it with your 100% error rate posting to the
net..

Now most things for the kids to do involve something or someone to entertain
them, with possibly hundreds of TV channels, music videos, video games,
internet (IM your friends) surf the internet, and so on. What do all or
most of the things today involve? Something or someone to ENTERTAIN
....THEM! It also follows for teaching. We have to keep their attention by
entertaining them, for them to even begin considering learning something.




Funny, I see it just about the opposite - with a much greater risk of kids
becoming isolated today because of their technology. Not only are some of them
playing video games 16 hours a day, but even their friends are virtual chat
partners. Many parents would like to have more contact with their kids, do
stuff together. . .

More information to which you're not entitled.

There is quite a lot of evidence that repeated mental processes do in
fact modify the physical brain. Bagley's book "Train Your Mind, Change
Your Brain", is worth glacing thru if you find the professional
literature boring.

If a person's mental activity is largely devoted to playing a
simulator game and posting on the net, one can be sure other underused
parts of the brain begin getting used to support those activiites. If
you pilot an airplane often, the process becomes 'easier' because
there's actually more brain devoted to it. Some other underused
activity will be less supported.

Researchers are always on the lookout for subjects who spend much of
their time in unusual ways, so that their brain functions can be
mapped with some of the newer imaging methodologies.

Anthony, I have this infromed consent document here I'd like you to
read. After you sign it we're going to stick your head in this fNMR
brain bloodflow imaging device. . . . .

Hey guys, don't laugh. It may sound funny, but we do that kind of
stuff every day. And there are many many safeguards to protect all of
our subjects, so don't start thinking after the process someone like
Anthony after being subjected to intense magnetic fields will only
walk north or something.



Sounds good - he's walking plenty south these days, with large compass
turning errors . . .

Only, Rich, if you hadn't been using part of your brain for those
other functions.

Looking at the use ratio from a male standpoint, my wife maintains that I do
not, nor have I ever, used my brain before, during or after sexual activity.
Only since I turned 65 has she said, "It's all in my head". Conclusion: In
my case I can post and fly all I want.

As a shrink, Rich, I can tell you with certainty that it need not be
all in your head at 65. How can I make that observation aviation
related? Ah, got it. Like flying, it's 90% mental, and the other 10%
is in your head.

Oh, dear. I hope we're not going to end up as the subject of some monograph.

"Dynamic Behavioral Dysfunction in Internet-Based Affinity Groups as Determined by
Personality Traits Displayed through 'At a Distance' Communication"

Points to you, John!

Did your research protocol gain approval from a duly convened
Institutional Review Board? And how would you get informed consent
from some of the members of this newsgroup? Even more bothersome would
be getting consent from a subject with diminished capacity who lives
in France.

dibs on coauthor status, by the way.

Thenk yew.

Well, since playing in any Internet group arguably is tantamount to
self-institutionalization of the participants, I figure that collectively we
constitute the Committee of the Whole of the Institutional Review Board.

And how would you get informed consent
from some of the members of this newsgroup?

The part about a participant being "informed" already has proven to be extremly
problematic for some posters.

Even more bothersome would
be getting consent from a subject with diminished capacity who lives
in France.

We'll just tell him it's a petition to award the Legion d'honneur to Jerry Lewis.

You got it!
