Title:	Screen-Based Technologies Sap Attention Spans - http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/07/05/games.attention/?hpt=C2
Description:	Too many hours playing video games and watching TV may be impairing youngsters' ability to focus in school. A recent study found that students who exceed the recommended two hours a day of screen time are almost twice as likely to have attention problems. Despite the fact that playing video games is perceived as a less passive activity than simply watching TV, both appear to have roughly the same link to attention problems. Researchers say that it is likely that TV and video games increase attention problems, however, they also note these media, in all likelihood, attract children that already have attention problems.
