does twitter damage your memory? - ruiner - 2009-09-11
Forgive me for trolling a bit, but I read this and much Schadenfreude was had at the expense of Tracy Alloway.

"At this year’s British Science Festival, Tracy Alloway, a psychologist from Stirling University, said the following:
'Some examples of what can hurt or harm working memory include things like Twitter. When you’re receiving an endless stream of information when you’re a ‘tweeter’, it’s also very succinct, so there’s no need to process or manipulate that information, it’s not a dialogue unlike something like Facebook where you might be updating your status and so on.'"

How is Facebook any more of a dialogue than Twitter? Same kind of crap.

To read something, you have to 'process' it. She's full of it from the first word.

These people have too much time and money. It's not science, just common sense. Gah
