I agree/disagree:

1. I agree that the internet is taking over the world because you see people walking down the street with their phones, and using iPads instead of notebooks.
2. I agree that this place is becoming a virtual world, and that most of the time we are online or thinking about being online because we are constantly staring at our phones even to just look at the time
3. I agree that the internet is making people that are close be far appart, like in different worlds because Im sitting with my family and I see my parents and my siblings texting on their phones, and sadly, me too.
4. Its like an addiction, and i agree with that, you need it all times for example, I cant live without my phone in my pocket, and I get panic attacks.
5. I disagree that internet users can be called geeks because everyone uses computers, and its not necesarily for studyingt, and geeks normally study.
6. i agree that the world has changed from the past 25 years, but i disagree the fact that its a bad thing. I think that this is a good thing, because its making us think more, and develop things that people haven't developed before.
7. i agree that the students and people get distracted a lot, which makes your grades and objectives less important because of the focus of some other things. For example, I get distracted a lot. I write a paragraph and then enter to tumblr or twitter, which are huge distractions.
8. I agree that multitasking is not normal with the brain, and that its making people become lousy. I agree because I see people being lousy when they are doing many things, and people get tired a lot.
9. I disagree that multitasking is making people dumber. Multitasking is making us use our brains more, and develop things we hadn't developed before. We are doing things we have never done before.
10. I agree that when you turn off your computer, the software wont get mad, the person on the other side will. I think this because people always want to use internet, and because the world might hit you like a bomb with an email to do homework or a certain task that you need to do.
11. I agree with the fact that we use more than 50 hours of technology a week because I use my phone ALL the time, also my computer when I get home, just like everyone else.
12. I agree that google makes us smarter because we are constantly searching things, which makes us more intelligent with every topic we search. I think this because in the past week I leaned atleast 20 useful and unuseful things that we are able to learn online.
13. I agree that there is more risk in texting and driving than drunk driving because I see on the news that the car crashes and dead or injured people are caused by texting.
14. I disagree with our addiction with VIDEO GAMES. I think that we are addicted more with youtube and texting, that in video games. I think that i have an addiction with online websites, just like tumblr and twitter, not video games like minecraft or FIFA 12.
15. I agree that video games can kill you because you stop eating, drinking, and even paying attention. My sister gets onto her playstation for hours, without even coming to dinner or doing something at all.
16. I agree with the fact that internet is an addiction, because I see my addiction and peoples addiction on the internet, with websites and connections with people you have never met before.
17. I disagree that internet is a disease, i think that is more an addiction, or a phenomenon, because internet doesnt make you go to the doctor, or the hospital.
18. I disagree that the people play ALL the time during the weekends, most people, or normal people have a social life, hangout with real life friends and family.
19. I agree with the fact that the internet is making us have an innablity to speak and socialize with others because you see families with computers and iPhones completely quiet, with no talk, just silence.
20. I agree that the computers can cause hearing and ocular complications because I had an addiction to the internet and now I have ocular problems.
21. I disagree with the fact that the internet is ONLY a good thing, I think that its both good and bad, computers are helping us to do homework and helps us with things we didnt understand with real life explenations from teachers or people in general.
22. I agree with the fact that people didnt know that the internet would change the world. How could people know? the internet was a great impact, first created by the NASA, and then used by the world.
23. I disagree with the fact that the internet shrinks your capacity to think. It makes you expand it, not only your capacity to think, but your capacity to expand and get new ideas and opinions from people all over the world.
24. I disagree with the fact that students should learn to use the internet at the same time as reading at writing, because the reading is is more important, just like writing and spelling, internet is not that important. I learned by writing first, which is the best thing that a person can teach you.
25. I find it true that thru generations, internet becomes easier and more natural to use the internet, because my generation knows way more than the past generation, and i bet that the generation next to mine knows way more of technology than I do.
26. I disagree that the virtual world is more important than reality because reality is where you LIVE, where you explore, and where things are actually happening. But virtual world is FALSE, they can kill you and you revive. That just doesnt happen.
