i've decided the whole world has a.d.d. (attention deficit for those who weren't paying attention). i mean, why else would they actually have to post a 3 foot tall sign in the drive thru of mcdonald's asking you not to talk on your cell phone while ordering. or why they have to put a cinema room in gold's gym for you to watch a movie while you work out. seriously, every car now has a built in dvd...some in the dash for the driver. so for those who feel guilty for taking your child's ritalin for yourself every once in a while...i think you've got a legitimate excuse. I can't even lay on the table at the gyno without my ipod blaring. i don't know how our schools can expect our children to get through a day quietly with only a 15 minute recess when they've been raised by a generation of technology dependant parents. maybe we wouldn't be so distracted if apple and sony would come up with things that would enhance learning instead of slacking.
