Thoughts on Annotation

I find it interesting as I read "Is Online Social Networking Good or Bad?" that it would in some parts of the paper be possible to replace the words "social networking" with "coffee".  When the author (Cristen Conger) presents the symptoms of withdrawal as evidence for social networking being evil, it makes me wonder if she believes that coffee is evil as well.

  I also found it interesting that both sides of the argument have enormous flaws.  For example the aggressors of social media say that social networking habits "could" change the shape of young people's developing brains, and present Aric Sigmans "Speculation" that online social networking "could" lead to poor health as if it were hard evidence that social networking is only destructive and evil.  However they are not alone in the presentation of weak argument.  Many of the defenders of Social networking parry these aforementioned attacks by saying that there is no proof for what they are saying and in fact (here comes the fall) social media actually promotes "positive feelings".   Now true as that may be, "positive feelings" have nothing to do with physical health.
