I read Lost in Electronica, by George F. Will, and he was saying that everything that boys do, like watch TV shows, play video games, and talk on the phone, makes boys believe they are bored, but he believes they may be just over-stimulated. This matters to me because if this is true, than it's not that teachers are just terrible and boring, I am just over-stimulated, IF it's true. This matters to education for the same basic reason, because boys won't pay attention and we use forms of media in education so this hypothesis would have an effect on school. This matters to the world because we are globally connected and reliant on the media he is trashing. I don't believe that the media is to blame for our boredom.
