I was in the book store last week. There on the shelf I saw a magazine called, Group . That's the new lingo. Exposing bogus beliefs about kids, Kids don't know right from wrong. I'm not going to tell you everything the article said, but the gist of it was the Gallup Poll was done among teenagers.
Kids are interested.
They want to know. A typical issue of the Los Angeles Times contains more information in it than a seventeenth century Englishman could have had available to him in a lifetime. Children have adjusted their minds to be able to take in information from three, four, twenty different sources at the same time, and if they don't have that information flowing in they seem to appear bored. It's not that they're shallow. It's just that they don't have enough coming in.
