Whether or not Twitter makes you stupid, it certainly makes some smart people sound stupid.

I think there's a misconception that I'm opposed to social media.

I'm a Capricorn, actually.

Every time my TweetDeck shoots a new tweet to my desktop, I experience a little dopamine spritz that takes me away from... from... wait, what was I saying?

Everything is accessible to everyone all the time, and I think there are wondrous things to treasure with what the Internet has made available to journalists. But I think it's also had some effects that are less pleasant. It has chipped away at a sense of privacy and secrecy.

Whether or not Twitter makes you stupid, it certainly makes some smart people sound stupid.

I think there's been a decline in the public's access to what's being done with their tax dollars, what's being done in their name. I hope that that will be repaired.
