1But if you place a human brain, with its evolutionary mandate to adapt to its
2environment, in an environment where there is no obvious linear sequence, where
3facts can be accessed at random, where everything is reversible, where the gap
4between stimulus and response is minimal, and above all where time is short, then
5your train of thought could be derailed. Add in the sensory distractions of an
6allencompassing and vivid audiovisual universe encouraging shorter spans
7for sustained attention, and you might become, as it were, a computer yourself: a
8system responding efficiently and processing information very well, but devoid of
9deeper thought.
