We've been saying this for awhile, the media and especially all these new social network sites are desensitizing us!

According to new reports:

"Rapid-fire TV news bulletins or getting updates via social-networking tools such as Twitter could numb our sense of morality and make us indifferent to human suffering.

New findings show that the streams of information provided by social networking sites are too fast for the brain's "moral compass" to process and could harm young people's emotional development.

Before the brain can fully digest the anguish and suffering of a story, it is being bombarded by the next news bulletin or the latest Twitter update"

Supposedly if things are happening to fast in ones life, we may never really full experience the full scale of emotions...or be able to grasp other people's psychological states...

It's starting to make sense to us, how we all are looking for instant gratification, and no longer have patience!
