Texting turns you into a Moron; Powerpoint, to a Retard; Facebook, to a Bore; Instagram, to an Animal; Twitter, to an Artist.
What do I mean by that? I’ll revise this, but here are my thoughts.
.
Texting. You learn to narrow your vocabulary to short words and abbreviations like LOL.
.
Powerpoint. You learn to think in bullet points instead of logically connected thoughts. Tufte, Powerpoint Is Evil.
.
Facebook. You learn to talk about yourself all the time and show everyone pictures of the beach you went to for vacation.
.
Instagram. You learn to do without language altogether, reverting to the status of a wild beast. Eventually, perhaps, you attach to one spot and become a vegetable.
.
Twitter. You learn to cut out unnecessary words and speak concisely.
I mean to be humorous, but this is actually very serious. If you don’t consciously take steps to prevent your brain from eroding, it’s going to happen.
