Facebook fails the ‘Exam’ Test
This is one Research Result that confirms my fears. According to this study, Students who use Facebook while studying for exams score significantly lower grades than those who do not. As a parent of a child who is just about discovering the internet, my paternal sense is tingling. If managing TV and Games time was not enough, we now have to grapple with internet and mobile habits of children.
I am only hoping like what humanity has done for ages, children would grow up to be much wiser and smarter despite all the apprehensions and worries of their parents to the contrary. Perhaps the human genetic code will rewire itself to cope and manage the digital overload which looks so daunting (to me at least) as of now.

Are we loosening up??
The Latest Trendwatching Report Says we are now living in the age of Maturialism.
Don’t know how much of this reflects India. Also the moot point is how much of loosening up is happening in the mainstream and how much of it is still underground.

Powerful forces are threatening to balkanise the Internet
Government around the world are increasingly getting uneasy about the internet. This article is an interesting read. The internet will have to be saved from control obsessed regimes and also the rabid anarchists. Lot will also perhaps depend upon how much we are willing to tolerate between the two.
