I'm not going to lie. My 7 year old seems to memorize things faster and with less complaints if its an educational videogame rather then a book or from his teacher.

I can perfectly attest to this. I've been playing video games and using technology since before I could even begin to remember. School bores me because the teachers rarely engage the students. The only classes in school I liked are when the teachers engage the student and actually have them involved in the class. This really made me realize why I was so pissed at one of my co-workers sunday or saturday. It was a really slow day because of tstorms and a tornado warning. I complained that it was way too slow and boring and my co-worker yells at me and says "who cares, less work for the same pay." I'm no someone who likes getting rewarded for doing nothing. I hate doing nothing, even if doing nothing has the same reward as doing something. "Waiting is a waste." ..of energy. For me anyway.

Its normal too that when we are young we live in the future and as we grow older start to live more in the past.
just a little pointe id add to his presentation.
As you mentioned Asmiro Iv had a same situation happen to me at work when i was younger and said the same thing.
But as i got older iv had the same situation happen and now am not worried and just enjoy the fact I can just do less for the same reward.
Cheers !

That's just a fancy way of saying you got lazy over time!
I used to consider myself pretty patient but looking back on most situations where I've had to wait or had nothing to do I am really not o.o I suppose easily entertained would be a better description for them :p

LOL ya. well yes and no Sometime its time to kick some ass and other times you have to know when to relax. When i was younger i was just Gunho. With time iv learned its no use trying to go to fast. In what i do you usually end up having to start it all over cause they keep changing the construction plans 500 times.
But in prospective to what the presentation was saying Learning things and changing how you do things would be Liveing in the past cause your saying, Rememb4er when that happened, cause of this. Well im not doing it like that anymore cause of that.
so as you grow older you have much more memories to look back at so makes you more prone of living in the past. Look at your parents do they still lisen to there old ass music?
Mine do.

My dad likes to listen to some classics, mostly all Michael Jackson songs, he loved him back then and doesn't seem to have outgrown his music yet. Other than he doesn't really listen to music unless it's on the radio. My mom on the other hand stays fairly current, with some help from the mix CDs I make from time to time :p
Even my dad's girlfriend likes current music, she still has her old favorites though like Celine Dion (god I hate when she decides to crank up the volume and sing to it D:)
And actually all my aunts and my mom's friends like current music as well.
I daresay that disproves your theory somewhat! lol
