It is not clear. It appears in Phaedrus but it may have been said/written by something else.
The point is that some people managed to be afraid of writings.

So far, only TV has been proved detrimental. I'm not sure what the scientific consensus is about social networks and it may be too soon to have definit results.
But my son is 19, had unrestricted access to Internet as soon as he wanted it, a smartphone when he was 14 or so and he is still smart: he can walk and chew gum at the same time without making bubbles with his shoes.

P.S: I forgot about radio: it was supposed to make children fail at school because the easy access to music would prevent them to concentrate and do their homework. It was of course later discovered that a musical background can help concentrate.
