I think that as a group we need to address the issue of how to approach managing wireless technology in the class. Just based on the chatter following the student's presentation and what has surfaced in our own group.

Stanford U journal article on multi-tasking; sample size: 262 university students Cause or effect is unknown...heavy media multi-taskers were unable to disregard irrelevant external info when accuracy mattered; and were also unable to disregard irrelevant info stored in memory; are these differences in ability to multi-task are due to behaviour (in which case these types of people will have a harder and harder time adapting to changes in how we interact with info and work), or if a new kind of cognition is developing (in which case we have to adapt to their brains)
