>>Too much media/computer use isn't good for your brain

I was really interested in the article until this popped up. What a gross generalization.

This is obviously and objectively true for a sufficiently high level of "media/computer use", and I think many of us will say, anecdotally, that we have bumped up against this limit. What's so offensive about it?
People in denial (in this case about the health of endless computer usage) tend to react violently when you confront the issue.
All statements in the form "Too much [thing] is bad" are tautologically correct.
It's obviously true that all this computer use that I use to learn more about programming, math, and various other fields, and communicating with others, is rotting my brain, yes. I should go watch TV or something, right?
