Facebook destroy children's brains | Martin Robbins @ mjrobbins

Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter a generation of young adults vulnerable to degeneration of the brain have left, we can exclusively reveal for the fifth time about. Self obsession, short attention span and are childlike desire for constant feedback, according to a ' top scientists ' with no record of scientific research on the issue.

Repeated exposure to the Internet leaves people with an 'identity crisis', want attention in the way of a small child said: 'Look at me, Mummy', or a scientist touting their latest brain fart in the national press.

The scientists believe that the use of the Internet and computer games could caused the brain to "rewire" to establish neurons, new connections and routes. "Rewiring itself is something that of course constantly doing the brain," said the Professor, "but the phrase ' to wiring brain ' sounds really dramatic and cool, so I want to it makes it seem like I'm talking about a profound and unnatural change, even if it is not used."

This wiring of to result in lower concentration can, really loud talk a need for instant gratification, poor non-verbal skills, and the habit of such as Alistair Stewart, research, yet still not carried out.

"I think it is really important, that people are scared not of horror stories about new technology, and I've been a big proponent of brain training software in the past," said the scientist, "but brains of people literally melt in their heads all MyFace waves appear."

In a controversial step, the daily mail popular science magazine published the academic results before she had actually been found. "In science I faced much prejudice of colleagues," she said, oh you did not research "they say" you have no evidence, "but really, they are just jealous of my fashion sense." Publication in the mail won't let me rise above all the petty politics and fact-check-in science, and just say, ' this is the truth, bitches. "

In response to criticism by Ben Goldacre, guardian, she said "he believes, his hair's better than mine." It is not. Also, I don't think that it is real. Who is he anyway? Is he a top scientist? "No."

The scientists who did not actually use Twitter, said: "what worries me is the banality of so much that goes out there." Why should someone interested in what someone else for breakfast has eaten? "My friend told me what they had for dinner the other day, and I told them 'fuck off' before the phone suggested below."

"That used high-profile academics, often the media as a platform, push to their theories of the public, suggested that some Facebook users the need to ' mini celebrities", the seen and admired by others on a daily basis. "they do things the" media "are worthy, because" to know people over it"is the only way that they themselves can define", she told tabloid journalist.

After their successful relocation of journals of the e-Mail, the Professor will take the next logical step to publish their future research through the medium of romantic fiction.

(The following is actually, Ernst, true)

You working impact on humans and the idea that young adults into zombie like "Cyber people" before our eyes on her first novel, based on their interest in the technology.

"Cyber people not robots", she explained to the evening standard, "It is that they spend their time connection with technology, so that they are uncomfortable with relationships." So, it necessarily has a setback. "We should be the masters of the technology, not the server."

The protagonist is based on Winston Smith in George Orwell's 1984. 22 century neuroscientists with three women in his life, really.

(As you say, I have the will, these stories more seriously lost.) ("For more serious rebuttals of the whole ' Facebook melt your brain", which see Ben Goldacre my old piece here or here).
