Does the Author’s position support the title?
How does Facebook makes us dumber? I don’t think this article supports the title. The Author goes on to talking about how misinformation will spread so quickly on social media, and why don’t people look for the truth. I agree with that but I don’t think it makes us dumber.

For instance a person can tell a story that is truth on facebook. Someone can make a “Meme” about it. A meme is a humorous image, video, piece of text, etc, that is copied (often with slight variation) and spread rapidly by Internet users. The meme will spread faster than the truth.

Spreading misleading information about someone without fact checking can also leads to cyber bulling also. Cyberbullying comes from a lot of misleading information that they spread around. Even if some of the information is true people will twist and turn the truth just to hurt someone. People will add their opinion and comment with no regards for someone else’s feeling. All for a Facebook like but it still don’t make them
