I'm highly disappointed that TOL didn't bring on subject matter experts for this important topic. Where were the Social Psychologists? The Developmental Psychologists? I even know a local Anthropologist whose work focuses on technology, accessibility and interaction.

What do you think academics do all day? They study and research these phenomenon, and produce papers on their findings. Many have been studying digital media and youth for years. I'm just surprised that TOL wouldn't have these experts on - otherwise it's just a lot of in-the-field random examples from personal experience. Valuable to hear, but in no way definitive as truth.
