Q: What is Dwight

Yoakam up to these

days? —Mary Penedo,

Cranston, R.I.

A: He’s busy bal-ancing his music and acting careers. “I don’t talk about it much, but I’m doing some fun stuff,” Yoakam, 54, teases about his upcoming album. “We’re hoping to get it out early next year , but I’m still working on it so I haven’t looked up to think about stuff like scheduling yet.” In his latest fi lm, Dirty Girl, which is in theaters now, he plays an offbeat and disturbing character, a type he’s become known for through the years. “Prior to Sling Blade, I had done less antagonis-tic characters, but once you do something that works very well, people tend to want to sing along with that song,” he explains.

Q: Was Puss in Boots

always meant to have

his own franchise?

—Cody Silas, New York

A: Puss was supposed to have just one screen life. “He was going to be in Shrek 2 and that was it, but now he’s a superstar!” says Antonio Banderas, 51, who voices the swash-buckling feline. The spin-off fi lm Puss in Boots hits theaters Nov. 4.

Q: Singer Sara Bareilles

growing up. Does she

want to pursue an acting

career? —Angie D.,

Los Angeles

A: “I love being onstage, and musical theater is appealing, but I’m not sure acting is my forte,” says the singer, 31. “Although I’ve learned enough to know that I should never say never!” Bareilles is

Q: Michelle Monaghan has

costarred with some of the

hottest actors. Has she ever

been starstruck by one?

—J. Graves, Queens

A: The actress, 35, has shared the screen with the likes of Patrick Dempsey and Gerard Butler, but it was Brad Pitt who stopped her in her tracks. “I ran into him and had a nervous moment, but then I thought, ‘Wait a minute, I’ve worked with him [on Mr. and Mrs. Smith]!’ ” she laughs. “At the end of the day, everyone is pretty normal.”

Your character is pretty rebellious. Were you like that

growing up? I didn’t do the things she does, but I would wear short shorts and show off my midriff, which was big at the time. And I’d wear too much makeup!You come from a big family. Any chance the Houghs

would do a reality show? People talk about it all the time, and my family is amazing, but I don’t think I’d be comfortable with putting everything on full display. You and your boyfriend, Ryan Seacrest, are so busy.

How do you make your relationship work?

We always joke that we’re the same person. We’re both driven and addicted to improving, and whatever we put into our work we put into our relationship, too.

INTELLIGENCE PARADE I hear Sugar Ray Leonard gave you some point-ers for Real Steel. What did you learn?He taught me how to move my feet and throw a punch. But the biggest tip I got from him was that the connection between the boxer and his corner-man, which is what I play in the movie, is kind of

the foundation for the whole fi ght. It’s the

difference between winning and losing—the way the cornerman talks to his boxer, the way he looks

at the fi ght.

You and your wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, have two children, Oscar [11] and Ava [6]. Was it hard playing someone who doesn’t take father-hood seriously? On any given day there are things you want to say as a parent that you just don’t. You zip up your mouth. So it’s kind of nice to unleash it all—it was good therapy. But my son is about the same age as my character’s in this fi lm, and that made the emotions closer to the surface.

When Ava starts dating, how will you treat her suitors? That’s when playing a role like Wolverine comes in handy. They’ll come by

and I’ll casually have the claws in my hand. That would be more effective than a baseball bat!

You’ve been training for the next Wolverine fi lm. Do you have a favor-ite last splurge the night before dieting? Here’s what happens: I start with breakfast cereal in the afternoon, because that’s one of my favorite things. And then I have

lasagna and ice cream for dinner.

Where do you call home these days? My real home is Australia, but we

currently live in New York. I love being on Broadway [he’s doing a one-man show from Oct. 25 through Jan. 1], but the real reason is that Deb loves the city. Happy wife, happy life.

How do you spend your Sundays? We have a bit of a sleep-in and then breakfast. I’m the pancake maker. Sometimes I get fancy and do crepes. When I met my wife, I was

EVERY ONCE IN A while, Hugh Jack-man gets the urge to make use of his

college journalism courses. “Each time I’m at the Today show, I ask Matt Lauer, ‘When are you hanging it up? When do I start?’ ” he says with a laugh. “And I know Regis Philbin is leaving, so next time I’m on that show, they may never get me out of the chair.” For now, though, the 42-year-old actor—currently starring in the robot-boxing movie Real Steel—tells Mary Margaret he’s sticking with his day job.

having a dinner party, and I made crêpes Suzette fl ambées, which I learned from my dad. It’s a good little seducer.

Did you know she was “the one” right away? It was like there was a big neon Las Vegas sign in my head pointing at her, saying, Do Not Let This One Go. I’m

famously indecisive, but this was crystal clear.

How do you keep your marriage strong? We have some rules, like never being apart for more than two weeks and always being honest. You also need a bit of surprise, which is my defi nition of romance.

What’s your most recent romantic surprise?

She’s wearing it on her left wrist—two very nice bracelets. She asked me what they were for, and I said, “Happy Friday.”

What lesson do you hope to pass on to your kids?Keep searching for that thing you love to do. Once it marries with the thing you’re good at, that is priceless.

SUMMARY NOTICE OF PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF CLASS ACTION

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY

In re LG Energy Star Litigation, Civil Action No. 10-cv-03733 (DMC);

Robert Walsh v. LG Electronics USA, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 10-cv-04499 (DMC);

Deborah Aschenbrenner v. LG Electronics USA, Inc. et al.,

Civil Action No. 11-cv-00463 (DMC)

If you purchased an LG or Kenmore French door refrigerator, your rights may be affected by a proposed class action settlement. If you qualify you may send in a claim form to ask for Settlement benefits, exclude yourself from the settlement, or object.

The United States District Court for the District of New Jersey certified a Settlement Class of all end user consumer residents of the U.S. who purchased LG Refrigerators with model numbers LFX28977, LFX25975, LFX21975, and LMX25985, or a Kenmore French door refrigerator with model numbers 7973, 7975, or 7978. The court also authorized this notice. The court will have a hearing to consider whether to approve the settlement so that the benefits may be paid.

Complete Notice and Other Information. If you purchased a refrigerator model listed above, you may belong to the proposed Settlement Class. This notice is only a summary. If you would like a detailed notice and claim form, you can get one by e-mailing [email protected], by downloading one from www.energyusesettlement.com, by writing to Claim Administrator, PO Box 2579, Faribault, MN 55021-9579, or by calling 1-888-356-0232. A copy of the settlement agreement is available at www.energyusesettlement.com, or may be obtained by examining the publicly available court records.

Your Options. You may remain in the settlement class, exclude yourself from the settlement, or object to the settlement. If you remain in the settlement, and are eligible to submit a reimbursement claim, your claim form must be postmarked by May 19, 2012.

If you don’t want to be legally bound by the settlement, you must exclude yourself, and your request for exclusion must be postmarked by October 28, 2011. Any objection must be postmarked by November 7, 2011. Your rights, and your options, are fully explained in the long form Notice.

The Litigation. Plaintiffs claim that LG and Sears misrepresented the energy efficiency of their French door refrigerator with through the door ice dispenser models. Defendants have denied these claims. The case has been prosecuted and defended, but there has been no trial, and the Court has not decided who is right, or whether the case should proceed to trial as a class action.

The Settlement. If the settlement is approved by the Court, the Defendants will provide members of the Settlement Class with a lump sum cash payment of $179.76 (models LFX 25975 and Kenmore 7975), $149.05 (LFX 28977 and Kenmore 7978), $104.79 (LMX 25985), or $133.69 (LFX21975 and Kenmore 7973).

The Fairness Hearing. On November 21, 2011 at 10:00 a.m., the Court will hold a Fairness Hearing at the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (Newark Division) located at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Building and United States Courthouse, 50 Walnut Street, Newark, NJ 07101 to determine whether the proposed settlement should be approved and to consider the application of Plaintiff’s counsel for attorneys’ fees and expenses in the amount of $6.84 million. You may attend and request to speak at the hearing but you do not have to do so.

he other night as i was getting

ready for bed, I turned off my phone and put it on the dresser. My 17-year-old daughter stared at me in disbelief. “But, Mom,” she exclaimed, “it’s so far away!”

For today’s youth, technology isn’t just a handy way to keep in touch or organize your

calendar; it’s as integral as eating and breathing—and seems to come just as naturally. Between smartphones, iPods, video games, and the Internet, being wired is a way of life. The average teen sends more than 50 texts a day; younger children spend over 10 hours a week playing video games; and the amount of time all kids spend online daily has tripled in the past 10 years.

We are just beginning to assess how this nonstop connectivity is affecting our kids’ social and intellectual development. It is increas-ingly clear that it’s changing the nature of children’s relationships to each other, to their families, and to the world around them. The latest research suggests it may even be rewiring their brains.

In a world where sexting is on the nightly news, plagiarism is just a Wikipedia click away, and people have hundreds of online friends

they’ve never met, helping your kids make smart choices has never been more crucial. But there are few rules of the road, as any parent who has watched his or her child fall down the Facebook hole for hours can tell you. In part this is because technology is changing so rapidly that it can be hard to keep up. Just a few years ago, a 10-year-old with a cell phone could do little with it beyond placing a call. Now, handing her one is giving her the ability to text, go on-line, and send and receive photos. Are kids ready for that? Are you?

The notion that parents need to get involved in their children’s digi-tal lives as actively as they do in academic or sports activities is still new. “The digital landscape is a positive place for kids,” says Dr. Gwenn O’Keeffe, lead author of the American Academy of Pediatrics 2011

report on the impact of social media on children, adolescents, and families. “It promotes a lot of healthy habits like socializa-tion and a sense of connected-ness to the greater world and to causes.” But, she says, children need guidance. Here are

some of the thorniest issues and how parents can navigate them.

� Do You Know How

Many Facebook Friends

Your Kids Have?

Fifty-one percent of American teens log on to a social network site more than once a day, and 22 percent log on more than 10 times a day, according to a recent poll by Com-mon Sense Media. You have to be 13 to join Facebook, but children should learn before then not to share personal information. “Pre-teenagers are very rule focused, so you can tell them, ‘Don’t do this,’ and they’re going to follow it,” Dr. O’Keeffe says. Unfortunately, even the smart-est kids can forget what they’ve been taught when they enter their teen

years and the desire to be popular overcomes common sense. Face-book can be like a high school caf-eteria on steroids. For some kids, it’s a positive experience, strengthening friendships and communication. Others, though, may feel left out, obsessively comparing themselves to peers and seeing the fun others are having—or at least posting about. Social media sites like Facebook, as well as texting, can also lead to cyber-bullying; it’s easier to target someone for abuse when you don’t have to face them. If your child is avoiding his phone or seems de-pressed after going online, these could be warning signs. In the not-so-distant past, if your kid seemed lethargic, you might have asked if she had a stomachache. Now it also pays to inquire if anything upsetting happened recently online.

� When Was the Last

Time Your Kid Used the

Phone to Actually Talk?

One of the biggest behavioral changes Generation Wired is expe-riencing is a preference for texting over talking. Kids 11 to 14 spend, on average, 73 minutes a day texting; for

older teens, it’s closer to two hours. If that sounds like an addiction, in some instances it may be. “When you get an unexpected text, the dopamine cells in the brain fi re up,” says Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Dopamine, which plays a role in many addictive behaviors, is a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of pleasure.

Sherry Turkle, director of MIT’s Initiative on Technology and Self and author of Alone Together, has spent years studying the psychologi-cal effects of this rampant texting on teens. “Kids have told me that they almost don’t know what they are feeling until they put it in a text.” One danger is that children may never learn how to be content spending time on their own, which is crucial for continued on page 12

Wired | continued from page 9

MB: I’ve got two daughters, 13 and 15, and this

has been the bane of my existence. We had rules:

no computer in the room; only a half hour a day

online. They always ended up getting broken. We

felt like terrible parents. I can’t tell you the Face-

book pages I’ve found that have been a horror

show. Now the doors have to be open and you

have to be able to see the screen. We’re constantly

popping in to see what’s going on. I will take my

daughter’s computer and immediately look at the

history, before she has time to do anything. And

let’s just say it hasn’t always been perfect.

JS: Are you getting push-back?

MB: It’s the battle of our lifetime.

JS: I’ve got two older boys, 23 and 20, and two

younger children, an 8-year-old girl and a 3-year-

old boy. I was a very permissive father with my

older boys. My attitude with my younger children is

that anytime they are in front of a computer or an

iPhone, I am losing the war. I have become almost

hyper in getting them outside kicking the soccer

ball, riding a bike. We have a hard-and-fast rule:

Don’t even think about bringing an iPod Touch or

an iPad to the table. The more I teach my children

to carry on conversations at dinner, the more I have

them running outside, and the less they’re in front

of any type of computer screen, the more of an

advantage they have on all of their peers at school.

It is becoming an obsession with me.

MB: My husband has taken the BlackBerry and

thrown it out the window, or at least wanted to, a

couple times.

JS: One of the things I was very fortunate about,

that my mom passed on to me, was being able to

stay in my room and read, write songs, create. Un-

fortunately, technology is short-circuiting our chil-

dren’s imagination. Nobody does what I did in the

An important correction from BONIVA for women with postmenopausal osteoporosis

You may have seen an ad about BONIVA for

the treatment and prevention of postmenopausal

osteoporosis that may have given you the wrong

impression. Our ads stated that “After one year

on BONIVA, 9 out of 10 women stopped and

reversed their bone loss.” The FDA has found

that there is not enough evidence to support

this statement and wants us to clear up any

misunderstanding you may have had about

these ads and make sure you have the correct

information about BONIVA.

BONIVA has not been proven to stop and reverse

bone loss in 9 out of 10 women and is not a cure

for postmenopausal osteoporosis. BONIVA has

been shown to help increase bone mass and help

reduce the chance of having a spinal fracture

(break). We encourage all patients to discuss their

treatment with their healthcare provider. Only your

doctor can determine if BONIVA is right for you.

What is BONIVA?

BONIVA is a prescription medicine used to treat

or prevent osteoporosis in women after menopause.

BONIVA helps increase bone mass and helps reduce

the chance of having a spinal fracture (break).

It is not known how long BONIVA works for the

treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. You

should see your doctor regularly to determine if

BONIVA is still right for you.

Important Risk Information for BONIVA

You should not take BONIVA if you have certain

problems with your esophagus (the tube that

connects your mouth and stomach), low blood

calcium, cannot sit or stand for at least 60 minutes,

or are allergic to BONIVA or any of its ingredients.

BONIVA can cause serious side effects including

problems with the esophagus; low blood calcium;

bone, joint, or muscle pain; severe jaw bone

problems; and unusual thigh bone fractures.

Before starting BONIVA, tell your doctor if you

have problems with swallowing, stomach or

digestive problems, have low blood calcium, plan

to have dental surgery or teeth removed, or have

kidney problems.

Stop taking BONIVA and tell your doctor right

away if you have pain or trouble swallowing, chest

pain, or severe or continuing heartburn, as these

may be signs of serious upper digestive problems.

Call your doctor immediately if jaw problems or

hip, groin, or thigh pain develops; or if you have

symptoms of low blood calcium such as spasms,

twitching, cramps in your muscles, or numbness or

tingling in your fingers, toes, or around your mouth.

Follow the dosing instructions for once-monthly

BONIVA carefully.

The most common side effects are back pain,

heartburn, stomach area pain, pain in your arms

and legs, diarrhea, headache, muscle pain, and

flu-like symptoms.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects

of prescription drugs to the FDA at www.fda.gov/

medwatch or by calling 1-800-FDA-1088.

Talk to your doctor for more information or if you

have questions about your treatment.

Please read additional important risk information

for BONIVA on the next page.

If you have any questions about the effectiveness

or safety of BONIVA, please call Genentech at

1-800-4BONIVA or visit boniva.com.

healthy psychological develop-ment. “Technology encourages this fantasy that adolescents grow up with that they will never have to be alone, that they will never have to separate from parents and peers. But if you don’t learn to be alone, you will only know how to be lonely.” Parents who constantly text their children compound the problem.

Though kids treat their cell phones like appendages, getting them to talk on the phone can be nearly impossible. Experts worry that this fundamental change in how kids communi-cate is endangering the develop-ment of an important set of skills they’ll need later on: how to converse, read cues from vocal intonations, and even negotiate. “There’s a big difference between an apology that involves looking in somebody’s eyes and seeing that they’re hurt, and typing ‘I’m sorry’ and hitting send,” Turkle points out. Parents need to insist that their children actually talk to them rather than just text. Turkle also favors setting up non-texting zones, including the kitchen and dining room. And, she advises: “No texting in the car on the way to school. That was always one of the most im-portant times for parents to talk to children. Don’t give it up.”

The minute you hand a child a cell phone, you’re also open-ing up the entire online world to them, including sexting. Dr. O’Keeffe recommends that you talk about the dangers from day one. “If you don’t feel ready to have that conversation, hold off giving them a phone. Ten years

old is the minimum age a kid should have a cell phone unless there’s a medical issue, in which case you should get them a watered-down model that can basically just make calls.”

� How Many Hours Does Your Child Spend Gaming? When kids play video games, that little pleasure chemical dopamine also kicks in. The intermittent reinforcement that games provide—you win a little, you want to play more—is similar to gambling, and for some kids, just as addictive. Ninety-two percent of kids ages 8 to 18 play video games, and 8.5 percent can be classifi ed as addicted, meaning their play interferes with the rest of their lives. According to Douglas Gentile of Iowa State University, lead author of a 2011 study on video game addiction, 12 percent of boys and 3 percent of girls who play will get addicted.

Parents are right to worry about the violent content of some games, but they should be just as concerned about the amount of time kids spend playing even benign offerings. “Increased game play is related to poorer school performance as well as higher rates of obesity,” Gentile says. “For every hour children are spending on games, they are not doing homework, exercis-ing, or exploring.”

There is no clear-cut way to predict which kids will become hooked, but those who have poor impulse control or are socially awkward and have diffi culty fi t-ting in at school are at higher risk. Watch for these telltale signs of addiction: a drop in grades, a

change in sleep patterns, and in-creased anxiety. Gentile recom-mends that parents limit video game play to one hour per day and monitor the content. And you should pick out games with your kids rather than letting them choose their own. Though the ratings on video games may not tell you everything you need to know, they can help you make decisions about whether content is age-appropriate.

� Should Teachers Use Twi� er in the Classroom? There is near-universal agree-ment that schools must play a role in getting kids to be cyber-smart, but teachers have strug-gled as much as parents to catch up. A 2011 survey by the National Cyber Security Alliance found that only 51 percent of K–12 teachers felt that their dis-tricts were doing an adequate job of preparing students for online safety, security, and ethics. Only 15 percent had taught lessons involving online hate speech, and just 26 percent had addressed cyber-bullying. Most teachers have little or no training in these areas. Still, a growing number are adapting their methods to better reach kids used to constant digital stimulation. “We fi nd that you have to switch activity or delivery method

Important Safety Information Serious adverse reactions have been reported following concomitant extra-label use of ivermectin with spinosad alone, one of the components of Trifexis chewable tablets. Treatment with fewer than three monthly doses after the last exposure to mosquitoes may not provide complete heartworm prevention. Prior to administration of Trifexis, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection. Use with caution in breeding females. The safe use of Trifexis in breeding males has not been evaluated. Use with caution in dogs with pre-existing epilepsy.

Puppies less than 14 weeks of age may experience a higher rate of vomiting. The most common adverse reactions recorded in clinical trials were vomiting, pruritus, lethargy and diarrhea. If vomiting occurs within an hour after administration, redose with another full dose. For product label, including complete safety information, see your veterinarian or next page.

six times greater, yet digital mammo grams are only 60 percent accurate in detecting tumors in these patients. But “when women with dense breasts supplement their yearly mammogram with an ultrasound, the combined

Two months after receiving a normal mammogram result in 2003, Nancy M. Cappello was diagnosed with Stage 3c breast cancer after her physician detected an abnormality during a rou-tine exam. Cappello was stunned—she’d had 11 years of clear screenings, yet her breast surgeon estimated that the cancer had been growing for four to five years. The surgeon said that it had likely been missed because she had dense breast tissue, which made tumors hard to detect.

Cappello learned that while 40 percent of women have dense breasts, fewer than one in 10 are aware of it. For women with dense breast tissue, the risk of developing cancer is four to

screenings detect cancer 97 percent of the time,” says Cappello. “I did everything I was told but had a coin toss chance of finding cancer.”

Determined to put the word out, Cappello launched a nonprofit, Are You DENSE (areyoudense.org), to edu-cate women about breast density. She and her husband, Joe, also worked to initiate state legislation requiring doctors to make sure patients are informed of their breast density risk. So far, laws have been passed in Connecticut and Texas, and at press time bills are pending in Califor-nia and New York. A federal bill is in the draft phase.

“Nancy is the first person to make this issue known,” says Dr. Thomas Kolb, a New York radiologist who has pioneered research on breast density. “These women deserve to be told that they are at in-creased risk, and that they can do something about it.” —Dana Hudepohl

Q: Should I get a personal health record?

A personal health record (PHR) lets you store all of your medical information online; you may be able to set one up through your employer, your insurer, or an independent site like WebMD or HealthVault. From a medical standpoint, it’s a good idea to have one, especially if you su� er from a complex condition. PHRs aggregate all of your health history, making critical information avail-able to every doctor who’s treating you. Talk to your physician and your insurance company about whether they can feed your data into a PHR. To help avoid security breaches, choose a strong password, and don’t share it with others. —Dr. Glen Stream, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians

Ask MarilynBy Marilyn vos Savant

To see a star in the night sky,

I need to look a few degrees

to the left or right of it. Why

can’t I see the star when I

look directly at it? —William Sexton, Virginia Beach, Va.

Readers often ask about this visual phenomenon, which evidences itself in so many ways. Human eyes have two kinds of photosensitive cells—cones and rods. Cones are used for seeing when it’s light; rods are used when it’s relatively dark. (No animals, not even owls, can see in total darkness.) The center of your eye contains only cones; the perimeter is dense with rods. So when you look directly at a star, it disappears because the cones can’t “see” it. But when you look nearby, the star reappears because the rods can see it.

This is the reason observ-ers so often feel that they’re never looking in quite the right place during a meteor shower. They’re right! Mostly we see the shooting stars only in our peripheral vision.

You may notice the effect when you walk down stairs at night. If you look directly at the next step, you’ll feel less secure than if you look higher.

Chickens have nearly all cones, so they can barely see at night. Rats are the oppo-site. Their eyes have nearly all rods, which is why they dislike daylight so much.

SundayDinner

When I’m working, my trailer is my

home, and I bring my own lunch, usually something simple like a salad. But when I’m not working, I love to cook. I like making homey, cozy food.

In my family, we’re very spoiled in the food department. My dad’s side of the family is Jewish, and my great-grand-mother made amazing matzo ball soup, noodle kugel, and mandelbrot. My mom’s side of the family is Italian, and when we have dinner for a large crowd, it’s usually ravioli or eggplant Parmesan.

When I was learning to cook, I wanted to make something different from the usual Italian fare. So I consulted with my aunt Carol, my mother’s sister, who often cooked for big dinner parties. She suggested Chicken Sputnik, a recipe that was handed down through generations.

In the 1950s, one dinner guest who ate Aunt Carol’s chicken declared it “out of this world,” and said, “This must be Chicken Sputnik.” So now that’s what my fam-ily calls it.

The Right Stu� Actress Rachel Bilson, who stars in the new CW medical drama Hart of Dixie, grew up in a food-centric family

every 10 minutes to keep kids focused,” says Philadelphia elementary school teacher Sharon Mora, who recently won a Teacher of the Year award for her innovative approach to computer science. She is at the forefront of educators who believe that embracing technology rather than merely policing it will enhance learning. She has been active, for example, in using programs like PhotoBooth to help kids create interactive school reports. Other teachers have experimented with allowing students to use social media to partici-pate in class discussions. “If you can use Twitter to maximize the likelihood that these kids will be profi cient in a subject matter, why not?” Dr. Volkow says. “These changes have been so dramatic that we should be thinking of how to take advantage of them to improve education.”

� How Exactly Is All This A� ecting Young Brains?A 2010 study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that students 8 to 18 spend more than 7.5

hours a day engaged with computers, cell phones, TV, music, or video games. Forty percent of kids in middle school and high school say that when they’re on the computer, most of the time they’re also plugged into other media. The effects this multitasking has on still-forming brains can be positive and negative. “The prefrontal cortex, which is essential for social behavior, planning, reasoning, and impulse control, is not fully devel-oped until the early 20s,” says Jordan Grafman of the Kessler Foundation Re-search Center. “Its develop-ment is largely dependent on what activities you do.”

Studies have shown that multitasking can lead to faster response time, improved peripheral vision, and a greater ability to sift through information quickly. But it also results in a diminished ability to focus on one thing for long. “You get better at the physical and visual motor parameters of what

you’re doing, but not the deeper, thoughtful aspects,” Grafman says.

How will the generation coming of age now—less accustomed to sustained concentration—be affected? No one’s sure. Dr. O’Keeffe recently spoke to a group of college students. “They said they feel really bombarded, they’re not sure they’re learning effectively, and they’re not sure how to turn it all off. We need to learn from what they’re saying and help our current teen-

agers as well as younger kids learn to disconnect.” For parents, that might entail modeling a bit of self- discipline, like refraining from making calls while you drive or sneaking off during family gatherings to check your email. But the payoff—real conversations in real time—just may surprise you, and your kids. Who knows?
