Digital Nation

Digital Nation was really interesting. it really opened my eyes to the reality of how attatched we all are to our phones and computers. these days we are always connected to the internet every where we go and it is changing society. i always thaught that i was good at multitasking and after seeing the tests that were held i realized that it only divides your attention. you arent doing a good job at anything when multi tasking your only doing a bunch of things poorly. i diddnt realize this before.

i also found it interesting that when you are reading you are using less of your brain than when on the internet. i found this strange. i figured it would be the other way around since theres more analysis involved with a book. you have to read between the lines and get around context. with the web you simply search and it gives you answers. reading seems much more complicated and complex.
