The Internet is creating a 'shallow' generation.
From "New Scientist" Magazine...
Modern maladies
- Blog streaking Revealing secrets or personal information online, which for everybody's sake would be best kept private
- Crackberry The curse of the modern executive, not being able to stop checking your BlackBerry even at you grandmother's funeral
- Cyberchondria A headache and a particular rash at the same time? Extensive online research tells you it must be cancer
- Egosurfing When "just checking" gets out of control
- Infornography You're beyond being a healthy "infovore": acquiring and sharing information has become an addiction for you
- You Tube narcissism Not even your closest family want to see hours of your holiday videos
- Google-stalking Snooping online on old friends, colleagues or first dates
- MySpace impersonation Many of us pretend to be someone we're not when we are online, but some will pretend to be a well-known figure
- Powerpointlessness One too many flashy slides
- Photolurking Flicking through a photo album of someone you've never met
- Wikipediholism Excessive devotion to a certain online collaborative encyclopedia. You can test whether you're an addict at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Are_You_a_Wikipediholic_Test
Uh oh....I am a Cyberchondria.
