The web is using us!

After watching this video, it inspired me. It made me realize that this generation is changing drastically. We depend on technology for everything now-reading, writing, watching movies, playing games, or even socializing.   Technology is affecting us in every way even when we don't realize it. One important change it our literacy; I have witnessed friends using online terms in their school work, which although may seem like a careless mistake is actually a large problem. It shows that teenagers of this generation are spending too much time on the web and we forget how to properly read and write. This horrible habit is very hard to change because teens spend more time on the computer than on work, therefore computer language overcomes the language we all use to know-English.

The message behind the video above is very inspiring. It is encouraging us to change because we are spending too much time in front of the computer screen. Near the end of the video they tell us to rethink many things like love, family, friends, and most importantly ourselves. We should be taking this seriously because it is true that we do not spend enough time with friends and family. What we use to do face to face now becomes on the computer. For example, instead of stepping up to do something, all we do is talk about it on the Internet like this blog; instead of playing with friends, all we do is play video games online etc. We should really rethink our daily lives.

  1. I could't agree more with what you said, there is completely nothing that you could add. Technology has drastically changed our skill and we need to snap back to reality and start doing thing back the way they were, or everyone needs to change and use technology. Great Blog Ryan!
