Well I don't have a great ammount of detail to provide but my paper is going to be about how technology is making us stupid and how videogames can help fix that. It is required by my teacher to have take a survey and use the results in my paper. I won't be using everything but I want to have that information that incase I forget something.

Can you be a little more specific to about the term 'stupider'. In my studies I haven't thought that people are becoming dumber, but there has been lass an emphasis on remembering everything since it is all a few key strokes and mouse clicks away. I am allowed to think of new scenarios and understand theory rather than spend an entire evening memorizing equations (although the way my memory works, both are accomplished). Have you considered a different argument, say "technology has changed the way our brains fundamentally function, and video games are a byproduct of our ever decreasing attention spans"? I'm just suggesting a new way of interpretative data and maybe you'll find a new argument (not trying to be belittling, but this topic has been made multiple times).

Unless I'm sitting down to write the paper I don't really think about the phrases or words I use to be more specific on what I'm talking about. If it bothers you that I don't than I'm sorry. If you want to read the paper once I am done than you are more than welcome to.

I'm just in general curious about society and culture, not my expertise but an interest nonetheless. Not bothered, just trying to maybe give an idea or two.
