In a post on his Guardian blog, Martin Robbins admonishes some flimsy science in an article from the Daily Mail. The title of the article in question pretty much says it all: "Facebook and Twitter are creating a vain generation of self-obsessed people with child-like need for feedback, warns top scientist."
The article posits that Twitter, Facebook and even computer games can "rewire" a child's brain in such a way that "can result in reduced concentration, a need for instant gratification and poor non-verbal skills, such as the ability to make eye contact during conversations."

I agree. Our society is already self-obsessed. I think it also causes problems in relationships and marriages because people think their problems are "public" (Facebook) knowledge.

That's not funny. It's moronic, but hey, he is a kid so he doesn't know any better.
