If you were to only have a piece of paper, pencil and nothing else in your room - that is - no other distractions in your life.
- then it stands to reason you'd become a very proficient artist, right?
So its reasonable to assume if you only had a Piano to play with, you'd probably, with training, become a very proficient pianist.
So with kids of today having so many distractions does this mean we're likely to see less and less prodigal and orginal artists and musicians?

no. I'd use the paper for math proofs.
And I'd rip out to piano strings to hang myself with.
To be serious, a good mind is a good mind. A bright good will become bored with retarded distractions. I mean, things are more annoying now, but it's not like we all run after girls all day, and none of us do things that require true dedication and ability.

A person needs to develop their own sense of direction and need.

distractions can be very inspiring, and I'd say they're required for proper artistic output.

Sneakattack, your avatar is still awesome after so many years. But it distracts me from writting clever posts. Please remove it.

I agree with Drunken Mastah. A good distraction works insprirational.

Maybe we'll get prodigal nintendo players... A new generation of inspired game music writers.

Since when have the best musicians and artists been locked in a room with NOTHING other than a piano or a piece of paper and a pencil?
There have always been distractions, whether they came in the form of the outdoors, board games, other people or whatever. People who become good at art and music do so because they enjoy it and because they want to put in a lot of practise, not because they have to because there is nothing else for them to do. I think anybody who was stuck in a room by themselves with only one or two items would go fucking insane and kill themselves, rather than get proficient at playing the instrument/drawing.
It is often the people who experience more and have more distractions who can make the most wonderful art/music (cf Drunken Mastah's post).
