Baroness Susan Greenfield is worried that social networking websites are causing changes in the brains of young users. The Baroness is a neuroscientist and director of the Royal Institution of Oxford University. She believes that use of computer games, instant messaging, chat rooms, and social networks may leave children with a short attention span.
Ummm, where was I?
Oh! The Baroness.
She says "My fear is that technologies are infantilising the brain into the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lighst, who have a small attention span and who live for the moment."
Infantilising? Is that even a word?
OK so we learned video game violance can be blamed on Girl Scout Cookies and Cobra is behind Facebook.
