In the current society today if you are not texting, posting, blogging, or tweeting you are pretty much an outcast. But is the mobile world destroying today's youth?
As technologies improve everyday more people are getting addicted to their gadgets. People just can't put down their phones and not text or Facebook for even a minute. The new technologies keep us busy and occupied for hours but they also detracts us from other things such as homework or a job. Personally I find myself distracted from my job and homework constantly as emails and text are showing up every minute. I constantly see teachers getting on to students for texting in class and some even enforce strict rules just to make people pay attention in class.
Many technologies have good and bad effects. Video games are loved by kids and hated by most parents. Although they keep kids entertained, build hand-eye coordination, and teach them teamwork they also consume hours of time and become a dangerous addiction. Parents are finding their kids playing games for hours into the night and even refusing regular food just so they don't disappoint their teammates.
Video games, social networking, and cell phones are connecting today's society but potentially ruining family morals. We are always connected and constantly meeting new and interesting people but spending half your free time telling others what you are doing every minute of the day just isn't what the youth needs today.
During the course of writing this blog I conducted an experiment. I answered 22 text messages, checked my email and eBay 9 times, and checked Facebook and my PayPal account twice. I think I among many others are technology addicts with no hope.
