Are your Facebook friends more interesting than those you have in real life? Has high-speed Internet made you impatient with slow-speed children?

(Hadzay)” Teachers are beginning to complain that texting is ruining grammar and that teenagers are forgetting how to speak proper English. The biggest problem with texting is the fact that teenagers are spending more time texting than paying attention in class. If you go into a classroom and look at how many kids are texting in school the numbers may be surprising. It’d be even more surprising how many of the students are texting their parents about dinner or rides home. The students are so into their phones even when they go home, they disrespect their parents so much by texting at the dinner table.
I think this article is very informative. I also believe that when people are constantly having phone conversations it affects their lives.

We don’t shop to survive anymore we, we survive to shop.\\We don’t eat to live anymore, “we live to eat.” We have become a society that likes to spend lavishly on goods and services just so that we can show them off. Affluenza causes debt, stress and problems in relationships. Affluenza affects many people of all ages, sex and backgrounds. Teenagers in this day and age are even affected by it.

Technology is a really over-powering thing and a growing epidemic and I feel that it's really taking a tole on young people but at the same time advancing the communication between us. To know that teens are using their phones on average 60 times a day is quiete saddening because there are so many other things you can be doing, such as doing home work, studying and spending time with family.
Dana Stevens summarizes Johnson’s essay by stating his claim that shows are becoming more complex and more complicated over the last two decades and watching it makes you smarter. Stevens disagrees with Johnson and believes that most shows assist in rotting the brain and also claims that not watching TV will not make you dumber. Stevens then criticizes Johnson for not mentioning the recent controversies and terrorism in 24, and that he fails to account the commercials that interrupt the show. Common sense seems to dictate that watching too much TV is bad for you and that it doesn’t make you smarter. In my own view, I agree with Stevens that watching TV does not make you any smarter.
The instant entertainment, communication, and social media all gone, people’s lives would probably be destroyed. We are too reliant on technology and it’s becoming part of our lives. Computers and cell phones affect social interaction, interferes with family obligations, and shortens ones attention span. Although this “supersystem” provides us with the best entertainment and is always convenient, we should go into the outside world and do activities without the use of the internet. Instead of wasting valuable time browsing the web, try going to a fundraiser or book signing.

I am one who does think that I really do dependence on computers and know that I’m not the only one that knows that others are or do depend on computers also and know that people needing computers are growing. electronics are bases on our everday life and I think that our world would crumble because of the very things that we depend on to use these computers. We regulate our lives everyday and I think that we use computers in places like hospitals, to work on cars, airplanes, to create movies, cell phone, tablets,notebooks and so on and so forward . Now in this centry we have them everywhere on everything just in a different style of the set ups. I also think that computers are the definition of control over our civilization, that if we were to lose computers then we would not be able to survive our society would now be so crazy and would break down.
