"Pay Attention" video for Joe's course

I just watched the "Pay Attention" video on U-Tube for Joe Ahern's course that is about to start on integrating technology. Some facts it asserts:

By the time they graduate from college, today's students will have spent. . .

10,000 hours playing video games
10,000 hours on cellphones
20,000 hours watching T.V.

(Actually, if this data is correct, it's interesting to me that the tv time is only half the video game time.)

Kids and teens, the video says, spend an average or 2.75 hours / wk. on home computers.

70% of 4-6-year-olds in the US have used a computer. (This does not seem surprising, since one experience at a daycare, preschool, or public library could presumably count for this.)

The author of this video equates all of this to "richness", which I don't necessarily agree with. There IS an interesting quote from a high school senior, "When I go to school, I have to 'power down'."

A study has found that students commonly ask only one question every ten hours in school -- yikes! (I'm not sure what grade level this was.)

Only 28% of 12th-graders surveyed believe schoolwork is interesting.

At the end is a link that I have not had a chance to explore yet, for more info.:

This video did give some sources for it's information, but not, if I remember correctly, for all of it.

I'm tagging this post for the 3cs course even though I watched it for Joe's course, since it is relevant to both.
