Greenfield warns social networking sites are changing
children's brains, resulting in selfish and attention
deficient young people

quickly.

brits... ridiculous people. :)

Ladies are crazy, almost as batty as the Lords.

She says that she only has room for "10 friends" in her
life. Well, let's keep it at that.

She also thinks autism is caused by message boards, and that
TV was better in the 50's and 60's because family was
together and everybody was happy.

But Greenfield warned: "It is hard to see how living this
way on a daily basis will not result in brains, or rather
minds, different from those of previous generations. We know
that the human brain is exquisitely sensitive to the outside
world."


so she didn't actually go out and collect any real data? i
would say yes, and 'so what'. has the radio or television
irreparably harmed mankind? maybe. also who cares. look,
if you become a taxi driver ITS GOING TO CHANGE YOUR BRAIN

over and over again.

fraud! The sentence structure is far too coherent to be of
the "infantilised." Try again, this time replacing c's with
k's, leaving out any and all punctuation, throwing some
random x's and z's into whichever words you like, and for
extra credit, try to construct a sentence using no verbs at
all!
