"Digital Nation and Technology"

I watched the documentary called "Digital Nation". in watching this documentary I was noticing how people dont realize that they spend to much time on the internet and do not pay attention to what is going on around them. In this documentary it started off with how people are starting to notice that the world is being distracted by computers and any devices that allow access to the internet. One mom noticed that her entire family was in the same house and even sitting in the same room and each and every one of them was in there own world thanks to the internet activity. This documentary was helpful to me in writting my autobiography paper because it gave scientific facts about what they believe technology was doing to the brain. Even though it doesnt seem like the internet is technology it is and this technology is not really helping us and not really hurting us either.

Technology

        Technology is changing every day, by changing i mean advancing. when i was a little younger I remember my mom and dad bought our first computer. Our first computer was more slower than the computer we have now. the computer we have now has a much smaller screen but the screen is more effective and more up to date with technology. Tour computer now has a wireless network, faster internet, and more capabilities.  technology has advanced more than we think. Technology is better now then it was when i was younger. having technology has helped us in a lot of ways and it also has hurt us in some others. The ways its hurting us as people is the fact that it made us lazier and brung us to the point to where we nee computers to think or even function.
