Is social media killing us? Facebook,Myspace, Twitter.
Well, no, probably not. Or at least, not literally. But two British scientists have recently suggested that spending all day, and — admit it — much of the night networking on a computer might in fact be bad for your body and your brain.
No less an authority on the brain’s workings than Susan Greenfield, a professor of pharmacology at Oxford University and the director of the Royal Institution of Great Britain, told a British newspaper on Tuesday that social networking sites remind her of the way that “small babies need constant reassurance that they exist” and make her worry about the effects that this sort of stimulation is having on the brains of users. Lady Greenfield (she’s a neuroscientist and a baroness) told the Daily Mail:
My fear is that these technologies are infantilizing the brain into the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, who have a small attention span and who live for the moment.
These remarks echo concerns that Lady Greenfield expressed earlier this month in a debate in the House of Lords, in which she said that social networking, as well as computer games, might be particularly harmful to children, and could be behind the observed rise in cases of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder:
If the young brain is exposed from the outset to a world of fast action and reaction, of instant new screen images flashing up with the press of a key, such rapid interchange might accustom the brain to operate over such timescales.
As if to perfectly prove her point, here is 36 seconds of Lady Greenfield attempting to explain her thoughts to a reporter for Britain’s Channel Five, in a video clip posted on YouTube today by the broadcaster, without any introduction or context.
I think it is killing us slowly with one tweet at a time. Basically each time someone tweet's a innocent life is lost.

What did they do to you, good Penguin?
There was a time where I would not use a single board other than banter to escape THE RAGE AND FRUSTRATION AND THE WOW YOU ARE STUPID AND THE LOL I PWNED YOU BECAUSE I HAVE MORE FREINDS ON A FIGURE TOY WEBSITE (I don't remember specific cases but that's about how it went).
The I decided to take a "my profile looks like a myspace from 2005 and I'm cool with that" and most of all the "haters gonna hate" approach.

imagine if Brett Major and Johnny Nitro teamed up to face Zack Ryder and John Morrison.
It would be a sell out.
