Impact of technology on children's brains

This video is about how children's brains are changing through technology.  Computer games have more abstract techniques so they can process information but they don't have a lot of "understanding knowledge". Social Networking desensitizes people and they start to lack empathy and the doctor also said that someone's identity might not be clear.  This is a scary thought because kids now are always going to want to be acknowledged for what they are doing because on the computer then can get responses from other people fast and they can tell people what they are doing in seconds.  Its also alarming that kids will start lacking feelings because they are not used to interacting with other kids face to face.  If they can always be playing games online or on Facebook then they don't have to make connections with people in the real world anymore.  So when they start to grow up they really don't understand certain body language that people have and they really lack empathy.
