Although I have long suspected that the over familiarity and even obsession that some people get with social 'networking' sites like FaceBook, Bebo and Twitter may have the effect of making people more isolated rather than more 'connected' it now seems that they may make people ill.
A boffin claims that it can in fact make 'destructive measurable physical changes' - like that bad back you got and that ever shallower connetion with other people you are developing.
GO OUTSIDE , CONVERSE FACE TO FACE WITH REAL PEOPLE- or failing that because it is a bit chilly and you should shun the sunlight in case you develop skin cancer, read the paper and discover what a reclusive hypochondriac you are destined to become. :)
