Cell phone use can affect moral judgement center in brain: a buried study says
You can no longer find any references to cell phone use impact on moral judgement regarding this MIT study online. But I recall seeing cell phone use pondered when I first found it a couple years ago. Now, you can't find the study using cell phone and moral judgement as search terms. So, I am posting the link to help others find it.
This is an important study because the implications could be staggering to society if moral judgement can be affected by these devices. Cell phone users' attitudes towards fellow human beings could be hardened by this biological effect. Folks, this is "brave new world" kind of stuff. Take note and pass it on!
