Gin,TV, and Cognitive Surplus

In this article Shriky is making the argument that we should do more create and inspire rather than just watching tv or movies. Cognitive surplus is the free time that you have to think.This time is the time that youre supposed to be deep in your thoughts and creating and sharing with others. This article matters because it might help to inspire people to start blogging more about their thoughts or sharing them in some way. In this article its a little different because it is talking about how the internet and its various uses could be used to our advantage, rather than just making us stupid. As long as you are receiving and giving information, rather than just receiving, then television and movies can be a good thought developer.
