COMPUTER games and Facebook can addle kids' brains, a top scientist warned yesterday. Baroness Greenfield said they may lead to temporary "dementia".
It'd be great to think this was just the tabloid rag taking Greenfield's words out of context, but sadly she has a record of saying unfounded things about the "negative" impact of technology. Not that I deny that kids should be going out and playing in the fresh air, Baroness Greenfield, it's just that they're probably not going to end up demented (temporarily or otherwise) if they stay in all the time. They'll just be a bit sad.
