Whoa, folks, get out your tinfoil hats, for UK's Baroness and Oxford neuroscientist Susan Greenfield says social websites like facebook and twitter rot young brains.
You know, I agree. The facebook status updates are on a par with twitter tweets. Their terseness invites unconsidered thoughts that are not fleshed out to explore their full meaning. The content of the blogs I read, and the ones to which I contribute, is very different than one-liners and silly images. Looking at lots of inputs from others is useful, but expressing thoughts and telling stories is what defines one's own self as something different and unique.
Okay, wait a minute, where did I learn about this? On facebook.
As with so much of life, it's how you use it. Yes, it is possible to use facebook with deliberation, but it's a lot easier with a real blog.
