study Habit's

       Technology has changed in many ways over the years and as a generation it seems to have a 

 

lot to do with the fact that most of our parenting was done in front of a television screen.

 

       In a study done by the New York times there was a specific case on a seventeen year old boy 

 

named Vishal who was complemented by his teachers on how his intelligence, however although

 

he has the ability to excel in his classes he received below average grades in most all his classes

 

except film. 

 

        Although it is not so much do to pure laziness but rather the way his attention span is due to

 

his use of technology. Due to the fact that people today are such multi taskers always on the 

 

computer, watching television, and texting this has an actual affect on there attention span and 

 

their ability to complete one task before moving on.

 

    Facebook, Texting, you tube and many other advances in technology is making negative impact 

 

on youth today.

 

      Many of my friends are obsessed with Facebook and cannot go on there computers without 

 

spending hours online and this has obviously taken a toll on there grades just as it did in the life 

 

of Vishal. 

 

         Although I can say that this is not a personal problem I have due to many factors, such as I 

 

do not have internet access at my home, my schedule does not allow me any extra time so the 

 

only problem that interferes with my school work would be my ability to keep my eyes open due 

 

to sleep deprivation.

 

     However despite my reccent use of todays technology I must say that when I feel as though 

 

despite the fact that I am not recently sucked in with I feel as though the fact that I was raised to 

 

sit in front of a t.v has effected my attention span and therefore my study habits.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It’s 2012 and the world has ended!

Or at least it would be if a number of variables where true like if I were for some reason not able to go back to college…

Or if Sarah Palin was elected.

Realizing that regardless either way I would be losing my right to an education I have decided to mentally prepare my back up plan.

First thing I would do is to make the world’s most depressing play list so that I could properly wallow in my own self pity.

After about a month of letting myself go into a deep hole of depression I like to call Sadie in honor of my elementary school bully I would make a new play list.

The next play list would be filled with up lifting pop songs that are known best for their hair brush renditions performed by thirteen year old girls. 

Of course at this point I would be on top of the world thanks again Christina Aguilera, I am beautiful no matter what they say!

This being the stage where I get life figured out keeping my shitty job because thanks to my three years of college I know that you take what you can get.

While working I would spend a lot of my time working out and bettering myself image every pay check improving my wardrobe replacing one of my band tee’s and a pair of converse with something a business adult would wear.

Once realizing I have no idea what that would be I would spend my next pay check buying people magazine learning what’s in and watching TLC’s what not to wear.

After learning how to properly apply make-up and how to put on panty hose I would find a job that made me more than minimum wage and I would do it without a college degree.

Yet overall life would continue on and I would figure it out just like I always have but a part of me would never feel as confident or as proud as that stupid piece of paper that cost me 40,000 dollars.
