Jeux vidéos: Ils cartonnent en France - 20minutes.fr
Telematin on France2 today reports just under 5hrs/week of video game use in France. Could that be? And an annual expense of 76 euros..... Not sure about the 76 whether it applies to young people or more.

Internet influence notre cerveau - Le journal du Week-end - Replay
This is one of the people mentioned in the report which suggests that loss of memory may come from too much use of internet.
"Le Napoléon Bonaparte prend l'eau dans le port de Marseille" - La Provence
I know this newspaper pretty well, the principal paper in Marseille. It's as good as any in most respects, and just as bad. Consider this story. A ferry bashed in its hull on a dock in Marseille yesterday. This morning on TV there are stories about how it is still in peril and that recovery efforts - to right it fully - will continue this morning. When I look at what appears to be the latest in La Provence, here is what I don't find:
+ Anything updated from last night at 10 PM
+ Anything advising me that there will be further updates and when to expect them
+ Anything giving me a concise summary of the situation right now
+ Any opportunity to be alerted by various means, if I choose, in the event that something more is reported or changes in the story
In short, La Provence has blown this one badly and probably does not even realize it has. Whyshould I have to go to the site of a free national newspaper in order to get an update on a story happening in the middle of the Marseille market?
Alas, you could substitute almost any other story in any other newspaper for the one mentioned here and get the same result. Even The New York Times in covering Hurricane Sandy! This link goes to a Live Updates page with times listed and no dates for any of them.

"Watching TV Online Often Exposes Slow Bandwidth : All Tech Considered" - NPR
Newspapers ought to be leading the effort to improve the speed with which we can all interact with whatever we chose via means provided by newspapers and by others. The best value will win.
"Amazon Reports Loss Despite Higher Sales" - NYTimes.com
How do we better track Amazon alongside newspapers? They may not look the same, but they surely are available at the same fruit stands.
"China Blocks Web Access to Times" - NYTimes.com
The good news is that, in the end, we all know that this is not going to work - sticking a Chinese thumb in global information dike.
"Family of Wen Jiabao Holds a Hidden Fortune in China" - NYTimes.com
An article of tremendous value to readers of the NYT and to many more people in the US and China. The fact that the story appears simultaneously in Chinese reflects this importance.

What are newspapers doing to help their customers in these situations?
"Wal-Mart Tests Same-Day Delivery" - NYTimes.com
This strikes me as bold move that could produce amazing results for Wal-Mart and for customers. What may be more important is how other merchants react proactively, if they do.

I am not as concerned about leaving it behind as I am in imagining how this kind of learning will occur in the future. That, for me, is the real issue.

This sort of thing makes a lot of sense on one level and is horrendous on another.
