Apparently I am not the only one taking it as a serious matter that we should be asking core questions towards our use of social networking. Here’s some words from Jim Taylor, who has a Ph.D. in Psychology, and pretty much comes to the same conclusions that I do:

…brilliant minds will continue to develop amazing new technologies that will change our world. At the same time, equally brilliant minds must be encouraged to collaborate in this development to understand the impact of these changes, so that the benefits can be maximized and the costs minimized.

I encourage you to read the full post over at Computerworld, and then really take inventory of your use of mobile and social networking technologies. Its not enough that we just use this stuff, we need to understand the positive and negative implications of this so that we can make best use of it.
