As I had never heard of 2001: A Space Odyssey (coincidental title), I was unaware of Adventures in Odyssey's play on the aforementioned film; however, upon reading the first paragraph of Mr. Carr's article, I at once saw the correlations--the machine's emotion contrasted with human stoicism, the final words, et cetera--and was greatly pleased to have made connections.
I also felt both guilty and scammed at the research mentioned of students unable to concentrate: by the end of the third paragraph, my concentrating was drifting. Thoughts of Ray Charles and trimming my fingernails distracted my attention from the very colorful description of sea words and scuba divers.
Throughout this article I was unable to find a specific cure for our stupitidy (now that's just sad.) except for the simple act of reading.
So I suppose I should be off to read some lengthy essay that will enhance my brain.
