Digital Nation

I found it difficult to watch this video only because it was taking forever to load and I'd have to constantly pause the video so it could continue to load. I found myself being a victim of multi-tasking throughout the video as well. I was actually laughing at myself because I was listening to the video talk about how it's not very effective to multi-task, that the brain can't physically do more than one thing at a time. My thought process behind it was, "Well I can still hear the video, so I must be getting something from it."

People died in Korea from gaming!? That shocked me. I can't believe people can become so addicted to the internet that they don't eat or drink water to stay nourished! They were basically starving themselves so much just for a computer game. Knowing this now is kind of scary. Here in the US we aren't as consumed by the internet as the culture in Korea, so we haven't seen as much drastic impacts. However, if we continue to use and implement technology, especially computers, into the classrooms and teach children that it is okay, and even important to use computers, are we going to go down the same path? Are we going to start having people die in internet cafes because they forgot to eat and drink because they were on the computer???!!! I know it's important for technology to be in the lives of children because our world is becoming more and more digitalized every day. But it is a scary thought that we could potentially doing them a disservice if they are going to become so reliant on computers that they can't do other important and vital things.
