The article says:
Students become more narcissistic, anti social and paranoid.
Addictive (like drugs)
Makes users think they are stars “They value acting, not actualizing”
　

We think:
Use of face book should be limited
Disagree with anti social, more overly social because the users tend to over share, but I do think the socialization may be more shallow.

How can meaningful connections deepen understanding of the “text”?

They can understand how different materials and subject matter can convey different meanings and can represent different ideas. They will be able to think more deeply about art and the creation of art.
