Recently been reading a book by Steven Johnson, called "Everything Bad is Good for You"
Its been awhile since i pick up a book... remembered the last book I read was "The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell".
In this book of his, Johnson claims that popular culture in general, and tv shows and computer games in particular, have grown more complex and demanding over time and are in fact making us smarter. Its a Brain Candy for all.
Startling, provocative, and endlessly engaging, "Everything Bad is Good for You" is a hopeful and spirited account of contemporary culture. Elegantly and convincingly, Johnson demonstrates that our culture is not declining but changing — in exciting and stimulating ways we'd do well to understand. You will never regard the glow of the video game or television screen the same way again.
