Can Social Networking Be Harmful To Your Health?

I just posted an article about social networking and how I sometimes get overwhelmed by it all. I also created a funny music video about it called Social Networking Blues All fun aside, I have read horror stories about tragic consequences due to excessive social networking. Leading me to ask:

Is social networking hazardous to your health?

I welcome all comments and insights, as well as feedback about my post and my music video.

peace,
Mike

You know the funny thing? The kids who started all this are barely online anymore. My daughter is hardly ever at the computer anymore. MySpace is a has been. Now its chronic texting. But at least they're getting out.; ▶ Reply to This
