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.
