Attached to Technology and Paying a Price

After reading Matt Richtel’s article about technology it really opens my eyes to how many people really are obsessed with the internet and all the other electronics in this world. For me I don’t spend much time on the computer just for the fact that I am a college student and have a million other things I have to be doing then just playing on facebook and checking my email. Don’t get me wrong I do have a facebook and I do like to add pictures and talk to people on it but I don’t like it take over my life or school work. Yes, I also check my email a decent amount but that is only because all of my professors send info throw our email. When it comes to the weekend I barely ever go on my computer and rarely check my email.  But as for Mr. Campbell in the article he and his family were completely attached to their electronics and the internet, the family could not even take a vacation without one of them sitting back and playing on the internet or a video game. Throughout the article Mrs. Campbell seemed like she was the only family member that was not addicted to electronics but at the end it says how she let two batches of cookies burn because she was too busy sending text messages and checking her facebook. As for me and text messaging I do text a large amount of my day and I do multitask with doing my work and texting. I never text and drive just for the simple fact that I am not that good of a multitasker.
