Is modern day social networking destroying our culture?

[Commander Data]

Facebook ... Twitter ... You know. Are these things leading to the dumbing down and stupefying of our culture, specifically young people? I think so.

Everyone I know uses facebook or Twitter. They don't read decent literature, listen to good music, appreciate art; they all seem totally oblivious to culture now that social networking has taken over their lives. It worries and angers me, but not many people agree. I'd love to hear intelligent reasoned argument on this subject.

Thanks!
If half of the people I knew spent half the time doing something productive that they spent on facebook, they would be a lot more interesting and probably more intelligent for it. But all they can talk about it facebook is facebook fucking that. "lol lmao omg I just posted something like so funny on my wall" eurgh...so annoying.
