iBrain | Gary Small | Talks at Google

Gary Small visits Google's Kirkland, WA office to discuss his book "iBrain: Surviving the Technological Alteration of the Modern Mind." This event took place on October 21, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series. Gary Small, M.D., one of America's leading neuroscientists, Director of the UCLA Memory and Aging Research Center, as well as one of the leading medical experts on memory and brain fitness, delivers *iBrain: Surviving the Technological Alteration of the Modern Mind,* the book we will all be referring to for the next twenty years. Never before has one generation experienced such rapid change in the brain's underlying wiring system, and the full consequences of this evolution has yet to be fully explored until now. In a world made up of digital natives and digital immigrants, where our grandparents don't know what it is to "Google," while we obsessively text-message business contacts when out to dinner, and our children do their homework while surfing the net, updating their MySpaces, chat on their cells, and stare at their Play Stations --whether we're technologically challenged or high-tech overachievers -- something's got to give.
