Miles O'Brien has produced a cool piece for PBS News Hour about "what could be happening to teenagers' brains as they develop in a rapid-fire, multitasking world of technology and gadgets."
The PBS correspondent is best known from his many years as space and science reporter with CNN—he has also appeared on a few BBTV episodes (1, 2, 3).
This News Hour segment is informative, but the companion chat with his kids is a sober counter-point to the hysteria of "video games/texting/IM/the internet is destroying our minds." Suck it, tech-haters.
