When communication is so heavily dependent upon body language and tone of voice, who in their right mind is going to trust twitter tweets? Moreover, science shows that Internet browsing, chatting, and “socializing” is linked with a weaker identity, greater immaturity and insecurity (Internet Use, Identity Development and Social Anxiety Among Young Adults – ISSN: 0813-4839).

Professionally, I don’t see how I can test your handshake over Twitter. I fail to see how you can pick-up on the energy of my presentation through a web-site. But most importantly, I just don’t trust anyone who’s life is plugged-into a silicon-based machine that enables the illusion of substance.

I wouldn’t say Twitter is for girls, but I am concerned that it enables compulsive and addictive behavior that doesn’t do anything more than consume electrical power.

Women, demonstrate that your lives are independent of such tools if you want to make a powerful impression on society. Many of us are trying to unplug these days, not the reverse.
