Social Networks are Making Us Immoral

Here is a funny article about how many social networking sites such as facebook and twitter could be making us immoral.

Because all of us now spend so much time on social networking sites interacting with people through the internet, we can hear stories from many more people than if we were just talking to them in person. Apparently this increase in the number of stories we hear gives us less time to feel emotions such as empathy and compassion. I don't know if it is true or not, but it is an interesting thing to think about. Sites like fmylife.com don't help out this situation either. It is going to interesting to see if we become a less moral society as the technology advances and the use of social networking becomes much more widespread.
