Seeking
How the brain hard-wires us to love Google, Twitter, and texting. And why that's dangerous.

Interesting article. It's too long for me to copy and paste here in full-text. If anything, this is one reason I'm afraid to even begin on Twitter. I'm already hooked on the Internet/Wikipedia/Googling/IMDB-ing for hours and texting...

I can IMDB for hours and not even notice. It's terrible.

I don't really like the idea of twitter too much...it's just something that I don't think I would ever use. I don't even enjoy reading other peoples twitters haha

Yes, IMDB is a soul/time-sucker! Oooh, and tvtropes.com!

actually, it is scary because you can get hooked on tweeting. that's what happened to me for a while, but i'm better. i don't care about twitter as much.

I'm glad you're doing better with Tweeting on Twitter! *shivers* That site seems so scary!

i think because you can update about so much stuff on twitter. random stuff too, and that's what can get you hooked to twitter. :\ it's bad. :(
