No one knows the full extent of damage the gaming industry is causing to the psyches of younger Americans, but movies like this one, starring Gerard Butler, show how sick the industry is.

Is This Thing We're So Proud Of Destroying Us?
For the past couple of weeks, the eyes of most Americans, and the world, have been glued to their screens watching the world's greatest athletes perform wonders in the snowy Canadian countryside.

I'm referring to the technology that is bringing those games into our homes, cars, offices, and basically every place we now occupy. We are a technology-saturated, technology-obsessed society, with new devices being introduced almost faster than consumers can absorb them.

The Department of Transportation says that it is 10 times more dangerous to text and drive than it is to drink and drive.
