"The Creativity Crisis" Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman/Newsweek 7/10/10

A quote from that apropos of the two stories below: "According to University of Texas professor Elizabeth Vandewater, for every hour a kid regularly watches television, his overall time in creative activities—from fantasy play to arts projects—drops as much as 11 percent."
