The headline reads Study: Multitasking hinders youth social skills:
Young girls who spend the most time multitasking between various digital devices, communicating online or watching video are the least likely to develop normal social tendencies, according to the survey of 3,461 American girls aged 8 to 12 who volunteered responses.
Now I'm not one to suggest that technology mediated interactions are necessarily a good thing, but "normal social skills" are, even by the terms of this article, normal only in a world without "...various digital devices communicating online".
