Mark Bauerlein response to Douglas Rushkoff

In fact, Doug, the report did not include texting or talking on the phone as media use in the totals. Most of the multitasking involved TV plus another medium. So, the 1 hour and 35 minutes that 7th-12th- graders spend texting is to be added on top of the other media activities!

And, ah yes, the Twitter revolution in Iran. Not so many months ago people were predicting it would bring down the regime. Hasn't happened yet.
