[QUOTE=BlkDucky;34449658]literally all of this is false.[/QUOTE] Oh. I thought it was metaphorically false
[QUOTE=notxmania;34448573]sorry to break it to you techno-fetishists: the digital age is depersonalizing, vacuous, and ultimately detrimental to human understanding and insight. the internet makes you stupid.[/QUOTE]I don't see how having the ultimate storage of information at your fingertips making you stupid. Someone who doesn't use internet for learning wouldn't use books for learning. So I don't see how you can deduce such a statement. Were people any smarter when there was no internet? Not at all, the opposite actually.

I'm not entirely sure if it's the cause or the result. It could be the result, kids fed up with other kids being absolute douchebags may turn to online interaction as a way to escape the constant bombardment of assholery they face in person. I know I did.[QUOTE=AnalAnnihilator;34448621]You're using one right now you dolt.[/QUOTE] The dictionary definition and the commonly referred to one are two ENTIRELY different things. The meaning he was referring to was shit like Facebook. Forums are not considered social media in that context.
I hate how they used the word "multitasking" COMPLETELY wrong. I mean I thought this article was gonna be about how doing multiple things at once on a PC (multitasking) causes people to be unsocial.
