Person # 1: I think digital thing take up to much of peoples time, they walk around with there phones in there hands and the first thing they do when they get home is get on the computer or video game. I't not only teenagers, because my boyfriend lives on the video game. Maybe he just need to grow up. On the other hand it's not all bad because because it keeps people connected to the rest of the world.

Person # 2: I think it's great because you are able to find out any thing you want to know when ever you want to know it , "google is the best".

The question I asked my mom was " How do you think digutaligzation affectsthe youth to day compeared to when you were a teenager?"

She answered, you guy now just have more. She says when i was a teenager we only had pagers, and C.D players and then two way pagers came later when i was in my 20's. So i spent more time outside talking to me friends and interacting other then just setting at the computer on myspace or on facebook. It's like you guy's get to interact with out really interacting. When i was younger and my mom said i couldn't go out side it real hurt and my was really bord, now if i tell you can't go out it's no prolem. You just go get on the computer and sign on to myspace,facebook or twitter and you are good , then if i tell you to get of the computer you get off and go on the same websits on your phone or you talk on aim, BBm or you text. Now of days thats what the phones are mad for you to do . You guys are lucky, but i'm not sure if all thr digutal stuff is a good or bad thing.

I think she answered wonderful, she just didn't say or it's very bad the answer that everyone have been giving she kind of did'nt answer at all but she talked about what she did know and how time haved change.

Home work #3

People spending so many hours a day  watching T.V and web surfing, the  part that  seem interesting to me is that people can just sit for hours and look at one show or  be log into one social network. The question  i  would like  answered is what keeps  a  person interested and coming  back for more? I'm interested to learn the answer to  this question because i am also the type of person that can sit on  myspace or  facebook for hours, sometime i  won't eat or  go use the bathroom because I don't want to get off  the computer, i  will  also  go out  for the day  but  i  had tho  get  on myspace or facebook before and go out  as well has  when i  come back  no  matter what  time it was. I was addicted and I don't  know what it was that made me  so addicted.    
The  good part about the web is  you can be connected to what's going  on  in  the  world, your community,  the media and  well  as  your group of friends. when I log on to A.O.L the first  thing  that pops up is  the  news. It  shows  you  the highlights in the  news  for  that  day  and i feel like thats a very good thing is keeping me connected to the  rest  of the world. It  can  also  keep  me  very  connected to  my  small group of  friends because of  the social networks  like myspace  and facebook .
  
The bad  part  can be  that people just  stay  on the web or in  front of the T.V all day  and  don't make  time for  anything else, they  let  the  web and  T.V take  over  there lives. I  find  it  a little  wried that people can get so  addicted  to  the  web or T.V and  even video games  and  that  leads  me  back  to  my  question  what  about  it  makes  people  so addicted?
