I think that there's something to be said for how today's youth are thinking differently than their parent's generation. But I don't think that it's simply "caused" by new technologies. I think that we're living in a society that has different priorities and I think that multi-tasking is more deeply prioritized than sustained attention by professional circles today.

Photoshopping can alter our media reality. However: "change the caption and you change the meaning of the photographs. You don’t need Photoshop. That’s the disturbing part.
