I’m in total agreement with her........People/kids, are using these social media outlets and saying things in public that they would never say in person to anyone let alone consider saying it.

I have a hard time imagining someone looking back from the year 2050 and thinking to themselves that the rise of social media was this really great thing for society.

Which makes them more susceptible to hypnotism. I don’t mean one-on-one but rather an entire group of people like Islam.

Social media isn’t doing anything to anyone’s mentality. The individual chooses to use social media to excess, excluding normal interactions with people. The individual spends time posting banal things and exchanging silly, meaningless messages.

The presence of social media makes that possible and easier. Social media is not the active agent in this decline. The excessive use of social media is.

Social media is a fad that’s here to stay. It can be fun to use, but its use must be limited.

I emailed this article to a bunch of my educator friends. I pre-dated this scientific finding by several years when I told people that the cell phone society was dangerous. I said that human language communication involves not only the words themselves, but that a very large component of the intended communication involves facial gestures and other bodily gestures. Therefore, I said, something like 50% of the “message” is lost when it is only communicated through electronic means like texting or email. Furthermore, I said, by being deprived of the social clues of physical face to face communication, the kids are not developing empathy with others. This could cause sociopathic behaviors because they never identified with other people, having been cut off from cues which normally trigger empathy. Look at the pathetic scene I see more and more in restaurants: a family of 4 enters, and sits in a booth. What a wonderful opportunity for some family time, sharing what’s happened to them today, what they want to do, etc. Instead, you see 4 people whip out 4 cell phones, rivoting their attention solely on those. Food is passed into their mouths without their eyes leaving the screens. Sick.

It’s not all bad. I listened to a really bright podcast today by a 7 year old girl.

My brother was a tv addict and learned a lot of social skills through watching tv. He is a successful attorney and no one asks if he watched 8 hours of the tube when he was little, when he wins his court cases.

leftists encourage the mental degeneration of people (especially children), as its the most effective way to get people to follow their poisonous ideology.

It will be interesting to see when the internet goes down and these snowflakes will all be found in fetal position soiling themselves.

[ Social media is making children regress to mentality of three-year-olds, says top brain scientist ]

Well, that certainly explains the liberals I see at Yahoo all the time.

She forgot to include adults - mostly libtards - in her statement. Watching any kind of libtard event (this weekend’s NRA demonstration comes to mind) shows that “adults” are spewing inaccurate garbage that shows they are “feeling” rather than thinking. What do three year olds do? I rest my case.

And giving babies ipads stunts right brain development, too.
