    The only thing here is a clickbait headline trying to go viral on Twitter/Facebook. tl;dr they used Twitter for an inappropriate purpose (teaching literary analysis!) and surprise, surprise it didn’t fare as well as an appropriate method (proper classroom instruction). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1134057201100820480 …

        Even if you thought such a study somehow made sense, it has nothing to do with intelligence or eroding it. The clickbait headline on the other hand, sure. 🙄 Not clicking on it is the only helpful response. (Consider me as taking one for the team😬).

        To play devil's advocate though: aren't you lambasting Twitter...ON Twitter?

        @yashar Twitter is not eroding your 'intelligence', cause and effect storytelling is. Twitter is merely a vector. We don't blame the wind for disease, or breath for a cold, we blame the agents. Unless you make the distinction clear on what is dangerous, humans cannot evolve.

        All social media can do is broadcast what intelligence or not shown faster and wider than non networked electronic media. It will though widen the gap between responses judging that intelligence. Binary interfaces go that..
