But if you place a human brain, with its evolutionary mandate to adapt to its environment, in an environment where there is no obvious linear sequence, where facts can be accessed at random, where everything is reversible, where the gap between stimulus and response is minimal, and above all where time is short, then the train of thought can be rerailed. Add in the sensory distractions of an all-encompassing and vivid audiovisual universe encouraging a shorter attention span, and you might become, as it were, a computer yourself: a system responding efficiently and processing information very well, but devoid of deeper thought." -Mind Change, Susan Greenfield
