Is social media dumbing us down?

posted in: Social Media Ideas

This is an interesting article that I read today. Students are failing English because of SMS (abbreviations like l8r) and using incomplete sentences.  It seems that we now have a second language!  Are you versed in both?  Can you switch between texting your child and writing the report on revenue projections?  To me, it says that as an older adult I may try to “fit in” with younger generations by using the informality of social media  – but I better not let it slip into my day today work activities!  You can read more about the study here http://www.socializedpr.com/students-failing-english-due-to-twitter-facebook/.
