Baroness Greenfield(how bout that name right?) the neuroscientist who is making such claims has a point. Myspace, facebook, twitter, what have you, are all capable of said behavior. Not too mention the violence that has happened because people get a wee bit too into something someone has said or posted online. I think the comparison of how man use to be so involved in their food made in the article to how people commnicate now is genius. I know people, mostly in ATL, who won't answer their phones but are quick to respond to a text if you send one. Worse than that people who'll only respond to emails! What happened to actually TALKING to one another? I rather prefer a phone call from time to time. Much more personal. Sign of the times I suppose.
