Does Twitter Make You Stupid?

So muses an opinion on CNBC.com this morning. The idea is that moving rapidly from one subject or task to the next, the shift from deep introspective thinking to gleaning just the crucial information, is bad for your overall brain function.

Naturally, no scientific studies exist to support this theory. However, I have wondered lately about this, as Tweeting seems to be a vehicle for a lot of people to overshare with as many people as possible in as short a time as possible.

What's funny is, Twitter is one of those tools many job seekers use to network. Sort of counter-productive? Personally, I find Twitter has increased my brain activity, as I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to decode everyone's abbreviations and tag codes.

Bottom line: exercise makes you fat and tweeting makes you a moron. It's true 'cuz I read it on the internet.
