Tywais Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Scientists warn of Twitter dangers "(CNN) -- Rapid-fire TV news bulletins or getting updates via social-networking tools such as Twitter could numb our sense of morality and make us indifferent to human suffering, scientists say. New findings show that the streams of information provided by social networking sites are too fast for the brain's "moral compass" to process and could harm young people's emotional development."

nikster Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) Loved it for a before, now I still use it but... it has been compromised ever since the TwitterBlast was invented. As for those scientists... maybe time to get out into the fresh air more? Just out of interest, why would you ever want twitter feeds to come in as SMS? There are a few things I can think of that would annoy me more than a constant stream of text messages to my phone - but not many....

nikster Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I really can't bear twitter...the last thing I need is yet *another* way for people to bug me! Thats what I thought until some friends started using it which made it fun. I dropped all social networking sites in exchange, no more facebook, hi5, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
