It is my personal opinion that the recent technology explosion is causing the youth of today to develop ADD or ADHD. This phenomenon is taking place due to all of the different directions one is able to take while being on the internet, or more affectionately known as the interWEB. When looking at a simple Wikipedia page, you cannot read more than two sentences without coming across five redirections to different web pages. In addition to this, even a simple task as watching television can take you in ten different directions over one span of commercials. When watching a big commercial show such as the Super Bowl, one can be told where to shop for shoes, what kind of shampoo to watch, where to get their next meal, and what kind of beer to drink all in under two minutes.
There is no stopping this phenomenon from taking place, so it is apparent that we has a society must learn to adapt to it.
Yes, technology could correspond to the increase in ADD or ADHD, but why are you only focusing on this one issue? There is so much more going on in this world and awesome advances that technology has brought about. You should interview someone to get a ordinary person's POV!
