We had a great inservice last week about social media and the child’s brain. Children are addicted to social media, which is making them less social, to fill a void in thier lives. The void is the lack of a father. Also, MIT and Stanford are doing studies that indicate social networking is causing a drop in analytical skills.

Last year I took my kid that skis to Keystone for 4 days of skiing with my brother and his family. We were all sitting around a huge table at a restaurant for dinner, the kids were all talking, we were all talking, having some good food and company.

I looked over at the table next to us and there was a whole family all jacked into their devices, except the dad. He didn't look happy at all. He looked sad and lonley, surrounded by his family on a vacation that had to be costing him a considerable sum.

Also, MIT and Stanford are doing studies that indicate social networking is causing a drop in analytical skills.

And we'll know what they'll "discover." The twitter generation is going to be extremely easy to manipulate for the rest of their lives. Because, or course, if you can't get it into 140 characters, it's not worth knowing.
