ANGLCAN CHURCH: SOCIAL MEDIA MAKES YOU STUPID

It said the following: ‘ We delude ourselves into thinking we are more informed because of the ease of access to volumes of information.  However, through our indiscriminate use of social media, we are in danger of becoming stupid in our judgment of where to place our trust.”  We agree.
