The Multitasking Generation
Time had a decent cover story last week:
I'd say the subhead is a bit aspirational. There's no actual science in the article, though the writer did quote a neurologist and defined a remote, appropriately meaningless part of the brain ("Brodmann's Area 10"). This story more or less simply reiterates concerns that Jane Healy raised 15 years ago in her book Endangered Minds.
But it's good to see a solid, critical piece on this topic that isn't laced with the typically pop culture-bashing or teenphobia.

The short attention span engendered by multitasking will be beneficial to the status quo as you are less likely to think about or dig at the truth if your brain is scattered all over the place.
