This article claims that Facebook appeals mostly to non-thinkers – or “dullards” to quote it. Based on a study that the authors conducted, they were able to see a relationship between an individual’s “need for cognition” and their Facebook usage. The people who used the social networking site more had lower interest in learning. Since I barely use social networking sites, I couldn’t agree more with the article.
Because I don’t find socializing fun, I can classify myself as a high-NFC (need for cognition) individual, which I think, makes me smart. Haha…
And my logic just disproved that.
