This is profound if it is true.  I'd be most interested to look at the
studies.  Mulitimedia as an ineffectual learning environment?  Wow.  It
makes sense intuitively, but I've never heard it said or reported.  Too
much motion, too many options, too much noise:content ratio could
certainly reduce one's ability to focus and retain essential
information.  On the other hand, a magazine is mulitmedia... and
tactile, too.  :)   It just doesn't talk, play music, or show movies.
