1.) I agree tech has taken over the world. Cellphones, laptops and other type of tech have taken all over and school. For example in MIT students claim they can multitask. I believe they do multitask but they can't be 100 percent involved in anything.

2.) I disagree with multitasking when it’s more than 3 things. For example in California they proved that you can't be focused 100eprcent in something and you become slower when you multitask because you become distracted and need to get concentrated again.

3.) I agree that the internet is affecting our brain, for example in the study of the internet and Google on your brain you have more areas in use but I don't think that is good because it is taking lots of energy from the body to the brain.

4.) I agree that technology is addictive because kids now days can't get off of their technology or games because they become addictive, sometimes kids even die for playing too much so I do believe it is addictive.

5.) I agree people get easily distracted with technology because they get an urge to figure a question or to "take a break" when they are really just getting distracted.

6.) I agree with the internet rescue camps because they help kids interact with the real world not just technology.

7.) I agree technology helps people change and societies into a new way because we now use technology for almost everything. It might not always be good but I think it’s true.

8.) I agree we people of the new generation are a new type of person because we don't to what people used to do. We use technology to do more of the things.

9.) I think internet etiquette is important to learn because then you know how to use it in a good way since you are little instead of just guessing and trying new things.

10.) I agree people who were born with technology are different from people who learned how to use it because native kids do it since they were little.

11.) I agree kids should be fluent in technology and communication because that is what the world will need in jobs in the future.

12.) I agree technology helps kids be more interested in school but I think they might get bored easily so they try to multitask which makes you slower.

13.) I disagree with teachers seeing the kid’s screens because it is your private computer and your personal things. It’s your responsibility and they should let you be responsible and use tech at your own risk.

14.) I agree with people using spark notes to read books instead of actually reading and that they do not put 200 page novels because kids won't read it. I agree because there are other things students need to do than just reading

 15.) I agree technology might be taking something away from us such as memory or concentration but it is also giving us lots of very useful things like multitasking or information or the ability to do things faster.

16.) I disagree with people trying to live in the web. There are games like Sims in which you can interact with other people like it was real life but online. You do get new experiences you might never get before such as being a king when you are just a normal person.

17.) I agree that we do immerse in games because it’s like real life and we can interact with it instead of just watching it or listening to it. Games do give you that extra experience other internet tool can’t give you.

18.) I agree people do want to connect with new people but not that they play games to do it. I think people play games so they can live the life they could never live like in World of War craft they meet people which they consider themselves friends.

19.) I agree people are alienated from the people around them and the world in general but they are still connected and interacting with people that are generally very far away. They do alienate themselves and communicate with people around them but they do this thru technology.

20.) I do not agree with people using technology games at work to interact with other people that are next to them. I don’t agree with using this to replace travelling like they do in IBM because I think human interactions are completely essential
