Digital Nation

Everywhere you go the kids are on the cell phone texting, on the computer, always checking their e-mail, going on facebook, or googling each other. They are completely consumed in the new technology. The young people think that they can do multi-tasking, meaning they can do two or three things at the same time. A study shown that they are not capable to do this, in fact they are slow and are disorganized. This is affecting their brain when they are on the Internet because there is a lot of brain activity going on compared to a person reading. So why is it that we allow the students go the computer then if this is the case?
Another thing, whats with the Virtual Worlds? Don't you think that everyone will get so lazy to go to work? The people will end up staying at home 24-7. I don't think I like that at all. It will be a ghost town. And the military recruiting the youth...by having them play these simulators. If the youth knows how to play on the simulator does that mean that he or she is a pro in war? That is just crazy. You need the cell phone, and the computer. I think the technology will get more complex as we get older.
