EVERY week, another report surfaces which establishes that the more time you spend on Facebook or Twitter, the more likely you are to be an unhappy, nail-biting paranoid.

The real ewe? Retromingent cows have shorn me of all nature illusions

The odd thing about Facebook and Twitter addicts is that they know precisely how unhappy it makes them, but they can’t kick the habit and have a contempt for those who avoid social media which borders on the contempt demonstrated during the Industrial Revolution for the troglodytes who threw their clogs into the new machines.
