Digital Nation


  • I agree that teenagers don't use technology in a safe way, and are in front of many risks by looking at inappropriate  things.
  • I also agree that technology make people distant from their family and friends.
  • I agree that now technology is everyone's life, I agree that people are now dependent of technology, there is not a time in which people are away of any source of technology.
  • I also agree that people now cant do a lot of things because they are worried about their social life in the technology, also they think they can multitask, maybe they can but they are not having the full concentration on classes or in the real life, not in their phones or computers. 
  • I agree that people m, multitask and based on the video, there is not a possible way that people may multitask successfully. They could try but they wouldn't succeed fully in any of the tasks.
  • They say its true that a multitasking is slower even though people think they are great at it. 
  • I also agree that its consuming people, it is just a perfect way of distractions. 
  • Kids are spending 50 hours on internet, the great question is what is going to happen to their brains? it cant be healthy for kids. 
  • I agree that technology will eventually change the way the brain develops and works 
  • Also how people think that technology is making us more intelligent and better at things like working, but in real life it is making us slower, and stupid in a way. Now on days people are dependent of this technology, people need it to live. 
  • And thinking this technology abuse is addictive, people like teenagers, cant be away of their phones, their computers, even their video games. How can this even kill people? 
  • I agree as a personal thinking that it is addictive, I cant do homework with out my Facebook open, my twitter, or my phone beside me. Its just a desperate need we all have to be connected every second of the day. 
  • But the fact is that this technology offers so much, you can do whatever with the internet, watch movies, play games, chat, research, everything has to do with technology. So with something that offers everything needed obviously will end up as an addiction or a need for everyone.
  • In the example of this kid who went to a camp for teenager addicted to their computers, he didnt concentrate in fighting his addiction the whole 2 weeks he was thinking in when he would go back home to play more games. 
  • how can it be possible that in Korean schools kids are being thought how to go online at the same time they are thought to read,abuse of technology is crazy, out of control 
  • The fact of using the technology is shrinking the mind.
