Re-Loneliness

"...While many students reported that completely abstaining from technology would make life more stressful, twice as many said it would have a calming effect."

How many is twice as many as "many"??? Despite its shoddy statistics reporting, this article is one of a number I have recently read on negative effects of social media, smart phones, and related advances. I like real things, and blipfoto is the only social media site in which I daily partake. Then again, I'd like to think we are different. I am not sure how we are different; perhaps it's the one-a-day post limit, perhaps it is the overall effort that we put into our entries?

I am rambling; it has been a long week. Today alone, I got up at 5:45 am, and ran at full speed till 7:00 pm. Took a class, taught a class, attended a presentation on excellence in teaching, and then worked with a friend on statistics homework for 5 hours... I love it, though, all of it. I really do.
