Do you feel that the time we spend on the internet is affecting us in a negative way? Yesterday I read this report (on line of course):

According to the article, students who spend time on Facebook, average one grade point lower in school. Facebook users, in general, become even more distracted and less focused. There have been other studies too, with similar report results. Earlier this year, Oxford University neuroscientist, Susan Greenfield linked Facebook use with diminished mental abilities.

Personally, I tend to procrastinate way too much when I should be tackling a creative project, such as composing songs for our next two albums. That's how I know all about Facebook and YouTube.

But I find YouTube especially uplifting! Last week, while on YouTube, I fell in love with Professor Jason’s YouTube lessons. This amazing, amazing guy has made available, almost 40 teaching videos teaching grammar points in Spanish and Portuguese. It seems that I'm not the only one in love with Professor Jason. He has more than 2,000 subscribers to his video series and they come from all over the world. You can check him out at:
