10 Ways To Make Your Programs Effective, Engaging And Memorable In The Digital Age

Each new technology we adopt changes not only our culture and lifestyle, but the brain itself. It’s not so much the content delivered — not the information or the entertainment. It’s the activities we’re involved in Andrea Sullivan, M.A. when using the technology.

ScienceDaily (Jan. 21, 2011) — Put down those science books and work at recalling information from memory.
