Mindless internet noise…
…. makes you dumber.
Brain atrophying? Mind swamped with the noise of your friends’ and acquaintances’ mind numbing status updates, but you habitually check Facebook throughout the day? Do you feel dumber because all you do on the internet is scan and skim the surface of all this info overload as you scroll down page after page?
Me too. And I’m pretty sick of all this mindless internet “noise.”
Try blogging. Blogging, but none of this “today, I woke up. Ate a cheeseburger. Boring day. Walked the dog. Gonna watch some TV now” blog entries. I mean complete, cohesive and coherent blog entries that actually require a bit of time and effort to write. It would be good to dust off and use the now-rusty, paper-writing skills that require a constant amount of focus and concentration. In a world of quick sound bites, snippets, skim reads, short texts, and short summaries, it’s a pretty good brain exercise.
Pardon my elementary writing. My brain is warming up, but is beginning to feel more awake already. :)
