File This…

I would file this under “DUH” and “DOH!”

An article discusses a sociologists findings that social networking sites could be harmful to a child’s development.

A couple of key thoughts from the article:

Social networking websites are causing alarming changes in the brains of young users, an eminent scientist has warned.

Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Bebo are said to shorten attention spans, encourage instant gratification and make young people more self-centred.

This is a big “DUH” because it’s just so noticeable without the research! All you have to do is READ the silly Twitter comments, or read on Facebook what people are doing. How many times do we need to follow people into the bathroom for the internet world to see? Really!

The big “DOH!” is that yet again here is a researcher who got PAID to report the obvious. I have GOT to learn how to get in that racket!
