warsha10 sustainable thoughts
I just recently finished reading Sustainable Thoughts by Mike Despines, a former hanover highschool student. In his blog he talks about the use of technology in everday lives of Americans. Despines states that most Americans dont allow time to do nothing, therefore not allowing the brain to retain information. My outlook on this situation is that i am in total agreeance. No matter where you are their is always somebody on their phone. Me included. Technology has seemed to take over America. Between text messageing and Email communication is at everyones finger tips. Most Anericans even have some sort of technology being used during exercises. In Despines blog he quotes a phycologest who says that a person has a better chance of retaining information if said person does "nothing" after being presented with the information. This allows the brain to rest and just retain what is needed, and not be overloaded. Again i say i am in agreeance with this statement, americans need to take a step back and just do nothing!

I agree Shalyn, people are using their electronic communation way to much and not actually face to face interacting with others. Without face to face interaction people will not grow socially.
ReplyDeleteI agree, people need time without using technology. Like you said in your article everywhere you go you see someone using technology, and I agree. I know no matter where I go I always have my cell phone on me.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tyler and Logan. People these days use way too much technology, there's people always texting instead of actually TALKING on their phone. It's sort of bad that most communication is not face-to-face such as over the internet or through a phone.
