Research Topic - The Mind

The mind, always changing and being shaped by the world around is, is my topic for the research paper.  This has unchanged from the first instance I have chosen it as I have grown to find it more intriguing as I dwell in the waters of cognitive science and the "mind".  Multitasking and technology:  Is it helping us or hindering our minds? 

Of course, foremost I need to acquire a copy of The Blank State by Steven Pinker so I can digest it's content as soon as I can.  Doing such, I'll likely have an easier time then reading it all at the last minute because that will not likely have a happy ending. 

I'm still on the fence on the other sources I need but The Blank State will help kick me off in my search for more sources.  Currently, I'm still trying to reason with my stance in the research paper which I seem to have trouble with overall.  By being enlightened by the topic at hand, hopefully (wishful thinking), I will have a side I can stand firmly on and be able to vocalize my point (through words mainly!) and have a easier time writing.  I should most likely begin using the tools at my finger points and not let them go to waste.
