Reflection on "Your Brain on Computers."

The article written by Matt Richtel, "Your Brain on computers," has two sides to the world of technology, is it a good thing or a bad thing? I personally think it sometimes can be a bad thing. There are people that get so caught up on their devices that they do not notice the world evolving around them. People rely too much on computers, what happens if you computer crashes, or one of your devices break? You feel lost and insecure. This is what the technology age is doing to us. Also, when it comes to interacting with people they have a harder time. Most people that spend all their time on the internet are less sociable when it comes to people. Mr. Campbell had a beautiful family but he made it clear that his devices owned him and were more important. He could go one day without checking e-mail. As a role model his children, Connor and Lilly, became the same way. Connor's grades went down because of his excessive internet usage. Lilly, only a second grader, got so lost on the computer that you could call her name and she wouldn't answer. Also, you can tell Mrs. Campbell is fed up with her husbands figurative absence, but she is as guilty as him. When she was baking cookies for teacher appreciation day she burnt them twice cause she just had to get to her phone and go on facebook. We are all guilty of leaving the real world behind for a few hours and get lost on the internet but i believe that it is becoming us. What did people do before cell phones, is the question that always arises in some conversations. It's consuming us, I believe that people's time on the internet should be limited because we are non sociable beings anymore unless you're talking through a technological device, there is no need to talk to people face to face anymore. Call me old fashion but I believe that is the best form of communication.
