Facebook, texting help first-year students connect IRL - 1 views

  • The first-year students averaged 52 minutes per day on social networks such as Facebook. On average, they sent between 11 and 20 text messages per day and spent 45 minutes texting or talking on a cell phone. Most students had between 150 and 200 Facebook friends.
  • More significantly, Jacobsen’s analysis reveals that Facebook and cell phones facilitated face-to-face interactions for this group of students. Initially the researchers suspected that digital media would partially replace offline socializing. Instead they found that face time increased by 10 to 15 minutes for every hour spent with social media and cell phones.

      Do the people develop those cells because they learn to think about their choices? Or do the cells naturally develop there and then cause the person to think about their choices?

      That's a good which came first question.  I thought the "working memory" was interesting.  It makes me think about cramming for a test.  You shove as much into your brain to work with as possible.  So, some brains are more prone to test-cramming than others.

  • If private property were abolished, all wealth held in common, and everyone allowed to share in the enjoyment of it, ill-will and hostility would disappear among men.
  • But I am able to recognize that the psychological premises on which the systems based are an untenable illusion.

      The problem is that people have more than needs.

  • If we were to remove this factor, too, by allowing complete freedom of sexual life and thus abolishing the family, the germ-cell of civilization, we cannot, it is true, easily foresee what new paths the development of civilization could take; but one thing we can expect, and that is that this indestructible feature of human nature will follow at there.
