Online Substance Abuse

The kids are on compuaters all day long but they aren't actually forced to type much.
When the threat of exposing yourself is gone, you can freely express yourself online.
You can talk without speaking. As computers take over the need for memory-retention, mixed with
minimalization of spoken word while using the internet even for socializing, the cognitive maps
are being formed in kids minds. Emphasis on physically engaging activity - somewhere between
reading aloud, talking with friends, telling a story, and answering questions at school.
in kids public schooling will increase the liklihood that they will engage in more rigorous
We've already established that kids are greatat data-input, pressing buttons,
and finding friends online, but they are also confident in another
thing: they are a part of an adult world there, and they're experiencing a sense of freedom
for the first time. If this is where a child is most honest and humble, then their ability to
effectively express new ideas will be pertinent information for future application.
It appears the amount of so-called corruption from an advertising overload has not
stopped the mindless chitchat of these children; it is greatly hindering the diologic
behaviors in actual interaction between them. When their minds are so fragile, and
they know how to cut the bullshit already, its time we give them what they want.
Not drugs, not sex: Philosophy lessons.
The social media has already marketed the idea of "out of body experiences" and
"mind expansion", but the school systems don't want a drug problem. However, now that
direct to consumer pharmaceutical marketing is flourishing, kids with behavior problems are
being brought to the surface, and many of them are being prescribed anti-depressants,
anti-anxiety, and attention-deficent disorder drugs. These kids have access to other drugs
that change their state of mind by various substances already. These can create unintentional
physiologal responses that are more than just twitching, sweating, or smiling.
When pop culture gets dark and the drug companies are paying the bill
deviant kids can be extremely disturbed about certain material because they are overwhelmed
with confusion or they may become curious about the possibilites and become anxious.
As the science of brain-chemistry become more salient among scientists and behaviorists,
the importance of full and optimal brain development should be a fundamental priority
for the future leaders of the world. Projects that combine math, predicate logic, and interactive
questioning allows for greater arguments and imagination-use.
