I must be the only one that agrees with Mav's short attention span comment. On the other hand, I also agree with mdana that doctors push pills too quickly.

All they need to do is recommend not staring at scenes (tv or computer) all day. Its even ruined my attention span. Everytime I need to concentrate on something I print it out in full and get as far away from any monitor as possible.

The American Pediatrics Association already recommended children under the age of three get exposed to zero hours of screen time per week, and that number is only going to go up. Its a completely different way of taking in information that lends itself towards skimming, clicking, or (in the case ot tv) just taking information in passivle at the rate and with the inflection already pre-dictated.

Doctors who call this new syndrome ADD are idiots, because it isn't. And yes, drug companies encourage it. But to say people today (of all ages) don't respond to "noise" and aren't exposed to more noise than previously is to give the reach of the internet little service. The amount of information at our fingertips is the greatest positve. The format and way inwhich we take it in, I believe, is the negative aspect.

Spend two minute in a public library and you'll understand how different people's attention spans are that grew up from age two on a computer screen than people who were exposed for the first time to it at 50. If I were a teacher, I would force my children to hand write papers until 5th grade before introducing them to computers, and even then I'd make them hand-write the rough draft and type/edit the final copy only. people should only get this much screentime by the time they hit high school (13ish) because I think it gets handled differently after one has had a sound foundation in slower processes of aquiring and synthesizing information before then.

Anyways....my two cents. Flame away!

In another scene in the film, former "Baywatch" babe Pamela Anderson was attacked by Borat's alter ego at a book signing, and he later chased her through a parking lot.

Did she learn of his antics in advance? Yep, claims Anderson.

"I love Borat ... Of course (Sacha) and I planned this years ago," she wrote in a recent post on her Web site. "And it turned out perfect — I'm so happy for him."

For the record, I think youth now is more intelligent and more on the ball in relation to the rest of the world than ever before. With the computer age, kids just want to know stuff much earlier, and our brains are on a new level. Just 10 years ago looking at movie tastes, we would've been satisfied with plenty explosions and a greenscreen tornado, they blew us away. But now, we as a whole want more. We want Borat, ripping apart America's core. We want a storyline to our action movies like Bourne, over a boat getting smashed by title waves. We want shows or movies were can dissect and discuss in length on the internet, we want depth... I don't think any generation has had the intelligence that ours has, and it'll be interesting to see in 20 years where the world is because of that.

Mavv, I don't think that problem is exclusive to this generation. We might be less tolerant of age, yes. Why not? You tend to be too conservative and condescending. Who wants that?

Zach, you need to remove that chip from your shoulder, dude. You've acted like this ever since you couldn't handle my views on bi-sexuality. You also need to realize you don't know everything. I am serious, when you are on your own for about 10 years, you will understand how little you know about life right now, while trying to convince me that you know better. It's not condescending, it's a fact. When I was your age, I never took offense to not knowing as much as somebody more experienced, even if they told me. I listened. I learned. I certainly never talked disrespectful to my elders the way you do. Your generation certainly has large computer balls, but let's face it, if we were face to face, you wouldn't have given me attitude one time.

Oh, it isn't that I (or anyone else, for that matter) doesn't take kindly to advice from mature adults, it's that we could care less about what an immature, condescending adult has to say about "us" and how this person feels their age offers them divine wisdom.

Seriously, I really wish you would get over yourself.

I wouldn't give you that attitude?

I didn't come in here to start a fight, but boy are you barking up the wrong tree with your plea for respect. You can earn it by cutting the self-righteousness, that's for sure. Your age doesn't secure an ounce of respect from me - your character does. So much for the stereotype, huh?

Hey Zennier. Did you get your surprise DVD yet? You we should have a movie night when you get it, and stick to talking about the good stuff. Save your energy for a movie I'm touting (you'll see) Screw Borat!

Again, as I said, you don't need to give advise to anyone. You are wet behind the ears and don't understand the world yet. You sound ridiculous trying to teach a grown man who has been on his own almost as long as you've been born.

You don't know my character. This is exactly my point, how your generation thinks it knows everything when you don't. That's is a PERFECT example of the know it all attitude that you have. You wouldn't be telling me any of that to my face, so don't be brave behind the computer. I don't care enough about you to want your respect, so maybe it's YOU who needs to get over yourself.
