I'm afraid I switched off then, because I thought it was verging on paranoia, and an overreaction. Perhaps you got the microphone back eventually, and put some balance on his perspective. I don't mind being told about dangers, provided the person telling doesn't seem a bit panicked. If they are, I worry whether they have got scared before they really examined all sides of the issue. But I admire your open minded approach, and wouldn't want you to change that. Thanks so much for these podcasts. Heather Northamptonshire, England Dr. Dave,

Even the occasional buzzing didn't slow it down. I want to add another reference to the “Is the Internet making us stupid” discussion. This article http://tech.yahoo.com/news/nm/20081015/tc_nm/us_memory_internet_3 is more in line with my own personal experience. I imagine that when reading first became popular, people raised the same issue, perhaps contending that reading was distracting us from experiencing nature directly and would diminish our observational skills.
