Technology

Is new technology affecting people's attention spans? I think it is because people now a days are too lazy to read long articles and if they start one they are more than likely not to finish it. You no longer have to read articles to find information you can just get on the internet and type in what you need. After a couple clicks you have found what you needed. Also the Internet can connect you to people on sites, such as Facebook, Myspace and Twitter. Also before technology was so advanced people were actually doing their homework.  Now most people believe they have a choice between doing their homework and being on social sites and texting. Technology has affected many peoples life's. An example is people are no longer called the jocks and geeks. It is now the gamer and the texter. I believe Technology has impacted every ones' life and it is good in ways but in other ways it is making us lazy and could possibly eliminate jobs for us. Like on factory lines machines do some of the work if not all of  the work, when men used to do it. Technology also affects people priorities and attention spans'. Most people want to be successful in the future, but others would rather have the immediate gratification by doing nothing but click away on a social site or killing people on video games. Such as call of duty, grand theft auto and gears or war. I think people are dumb for putting social sites and video games before homework because the grades they achieve in high school affect  their futures and if they get into college or not. In conclusion Technology is affecting peoples' attention spans and how they are labeled in school. Technology is good depending on how you use it if you use it more than you should it can affect your future and attention spans.
