found this and now wants to marry the guy! Sheesh. Anyway,
he does
nail it with observations like "we live in a Face Book-Instagram
world." Tests show that using cellphones and social media release the
substance dopamine; the exact same chemical one gets from tobacco,
gambling, alcohol. IOW, highly addictive. Get a text;
feel good.
Feeling down? Send out 10 texts and feel better. Kids
are constantly
going back and counting the likes.
If there are none, or an insufficient number of them, they get
depressed; "Am I not popular anymore?"
There is real trauma for kids to be "unfriended."
All of this of course limits the ability to stray outside of the
box.
Say the wrong thing and your plug is pulled. Some kids find
themselves
ostracized at school; some are actually beat up. |
Sheesh, Raja! I love ya, Man, but you gotta get yourself a dictionary, or something! And even that wouldn't help "Tess show that using cellphones…" Are you using voice-to-text? If so, it needs an overhaul.
ReplyDelete??? Who the hell is Tess?
ReplyDeleteIf it's voice-to-text, what we have here is FAILURE TO ENUNCIATE!
ReplyDeleteIt must be Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles!

It's obviously Voice-to-Tess

ReplyDeleteHmmm…so, any time that something has been/is egregiously ungrammatical or misspelled (or looks as if it were typed by a visually-challenged dyslexic wearing mittens), it's just a prank, eh? OK, if that's your story...
ReplyDeleteYah, he's good and he's glib and it's hard to argue with many of his points, but along about 11 minutes when he started talking about how employers ("corporations" he said) need to find ways to engage and provide fulfillment to these little darlings, he started to piss me off. Let's see how long HIS companies last when he focuses on making his employees feel good instead of producing a product or service customers want to buy. -- General Petty Officer Fifth Class Skyhawker Doug
