Is my Brain Really That Important?

Part of me believes that this entire essay is completly a myth similar to the lockless monster, the other part of me believes there is some knowledge behind it.  In the begaining its talking about these readers who are having a hard time reading long articles and seem to be getting destracted.  I feel as if the concept they have in their head pointing their fingers at media is just false.  As people of the 2000's we are reading more then ever before.  How would that cause us to lose concentration faster?  I just don't see the thought process behind that. How could staring at a screen reading articles be bad, is it any different then staring at a piece of paper?   "  Once I was a scuba diver in a sea of words, now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski. "  Could that possibly be because the world is moving faster than it ever has? Like I said, the other part of me thinks that computers could be a bad thing for our brains. That opinion roots from computers taking away creativity. For example when I type a story or essay on  the computer it seems to lose my voice. It doesn't even sound like I wrote it. When I use a pen and some paper my  voice fills the pages. I could never write a poem on the computer because the ideas just wouldn't come like they would on paper. So what to think? Wait until computers become everything we do, then we will see exactly what happens. :)
