This article is short, but gets to the point very quickly with stats to back it up. It reveals that we unconsciously find ourselves hovering over the computer than the ones that mean the most in our lives. What makes people enjoy their time on the computer over their wife, or family? I think its the options computers give us. They are never ending.

The most interesting part is that more than 50% of Americans don't find they're experience to be grateful. If so I wonder why we still use it? We still need to find a way to prioritize out lives, especially within the family. It is saddening to see that a tool can have more value than the ones closest to us.


This article is strictly about the advancement of Facebook. The stats reveal that it grew from a small community to a world wide communication platform in about 5 years. Im sure this has alot to do with the first article as well. Facebook becomes another aspect that makes us adhere to our computers.


This article is not professional like the first two, but the author's perspective makes it very interesting. He states that we need to realize that technology is not necessarily essential in every day life. If people were required to use it for work, you can leave it at that and resist yourself from using it any more. He also states near the end that "balance" is very significant in living our life to the fullest. I posted an opinion about this in my first few posts.
