I found a lot of what Steven Johnson said interesting. Johnson challenges the image that pop culture has decreased. Johnson uses the word "Sleeper Curve", to argue his point that, "the Sleeper Curve is the single most important new force altering the mental development of young people today." (459) He implies that pop culture has become superior to traditional culture. He uses this to argue against modern image of the deteriorating standards of pop culture. 

I agree with what he has to say. I believe that our generations TV shows are much more deeper and just like reading a book. I also found it interesting on page 461 when he goes into frenzy if video games came out before reading. Even though he doesn't fully believe in what the frenzy would be like, I still found it interesting and made me think in another way. What if books came out after video games. Peoples minds would drastically change on how they see books, compared to nowadays.
