ABSTRACT
It’s a long journey from Descartes’ ‘Cogito, ergo sum’ to the computer games, websites and multimedia packages of today. If Descartes were alive and cogitating now, however, I suspect he’d be very interested in the impact of computers and playing e-games. He likened the brain to the hydraulic fountains that were hi-tech in his time. Today, comparing the brain to computers is routine; the neural web mirrors the global web. The developing brain has never before been bombarded with so much information.
