 I am writing in response to the link above ^ on social networking. I do believe that technology has taken over the entire world. I do think that it is a good thing in a lot of ways when it comes to communication and education. I do believe that family wise, it is destructive. I catch myself having dinner with loved ones and not being able to hold back from checking a text or notification from facebook. I feel like once we as people get a taste of technology we can't stay away. We get so wraped up in other peoples' lives that we forget to participate in our own.

In response to the link above ^ I agree with every single thing he said. There is one thing that caught my eye that I am going to comment on. He talked about children that are on social networks. Just as he stated, there is too much violence and negativity for young adolecense. The brain isn't fully developed and is corupted when such behavior is shown them. I think that kids should not be allowed without super vision on the internet for that very reason.

 It interferes with the natural growth in the mind. Parents should become more aware of their children and their actions. I see kids now that havent even reached the age of eight that already have cell phones.

 I think that is just nonsense. They are not old enough to go off by themselves so why would you need to call them? I do think that technology is good in the education sense when it is supervised though. Kids need to know how it works so as technology progresses they won't be so far behind. It all comes down to supervision.
