A very interesting read. The author points out that pop culture has actually become more complicated over time and believes that the increase in complexity is making us smarter.

While I don't agree with many of his assertions (video games are as good or better than reading? not when you factor in brain utilization), his rhetoric is quite interesting and his arguments are compelling.
