Good sign
Via UK Telegraph:
Bodes well for the future. TV enforces ONE ABSOLUTELY UNIFORM RIGID ORTHODOX VIEWPOINT. As young folks break loose from The Big Phase-lock, they will still follow a bunch of stupid trends as teens always do. And given the way Facebook works, most of those stupid trends will be created by big corporations.
But they won't be helplessly locked into ONE set of deadly falsehoods and lethally wrong assumptions. They will be able to explore lots of different viewpoints, some of which may even be true and good for civilization. ¶ 4:56 AM
Teenagers now list using social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter as their number one pastime, overtaking watching television, according to a new report.
Sixty-five per cent of the 16-24 year-olds who were polled for the survey, listed talking to their friends via Facebook and Twitter, as their top leisure activity.
