"Increased connection with peers, for one. It's incredibly easy to network now."

Is it, really? The girl in this article basically doesn't even LOOK at the pictures. The "conversation" is effectively: "Look at what I'm doing" "I don't care what you're doing" "Look at what I'm doing" "I don't care what you're doing" That doesn't seem like "increased connection".

But, this is also what I expect from a 13 year old.
