Script: Young Americans, aged 8 to 18, are packing more than 8 hours' worth of media exposure into each day, listening to iTunes, instant messaging their friends and playing a computer or video game... all at the same time. That media multi-tasking doesn't concern some experts. In fact, they see video games as tools for acquiring the multi-tasking skills kids will need to succeed in tomorrow's workplace. But others worry that kids don't have enough time for the hands-on activities that develop and refine their creativity and other skills that are just as
important. Many — perhaps most — adults can't understand why kids are so attracted to video games.
