A brief selection of highlights and a longer audio interview with Susan Greenfield, the baroness who has made a name for herself describing how the internet changes people's brains. Interviewer Frank Swain writes, "I would say that Greenfield's views here are ... complicated. There's no doubting the passion her feels about this topic, and a a good deal of her interactions come across as a desire to raise awareness. But raise awareness of what, exactly? ... There's no doubt that Greenfield has great showmanship, and it's my opinion (and only an opinion, mind) that she is deliberately glib in an effort to get her point across, a behaviour that belies a more reserved scientific approach."
