The World Unplugged:

                 I really enjoyed reading this article ,it helps me to understand the generation of this technology age, and how it affects them good and bad. So, the study was to see how college age men and women react when their technology is taken away from them for 24 hours. Wow, is my reaction!
They reacted as if someone took their baby blanket away, and they became board, and depressed! I am willing to admit that I have my smart phone near me or on me all of the time.The difference is I could find other things to do; like go for a walk,clean, talk to someone in person,or my favorite thing to do is cook. The technology of today is wonderful but being addicted is a shame, because one looses out on regular everyday life. This has become their everyday life. This generation in their 20's need to say to their hand held device leave me alone! It is amazing all it is used for checking time, e-mails, taking pictures and videos.And we can share all this, one can see why people are always reaching for technology! My solution is take the mobile device on your walk and check it occasionally.
