I wish I worked at Northwestern University, so I could conduct studies which conclude that “teenagers find online news troubling and a reminder of the world’s dangers. Meanwhile, time spent on YouTube or social networking and music downloading sites is a treat.” In related news, “O” is for “obvious.” Also possibly for “oblivious.” Somebody had to do research to make that determination? I find news sites way less stressful than social networks, probably because I’m too shy about my appearance to upload my photo or share any information about myself.
