Matt has a lot of strong facts to back of his argument that technology is taking over our lives and ruining our families. I agree tremendously with what he is stating. The world has become to addicted to all the gadgets and accessories associated with technology that hardly anyone knows how to carry on a conversation, face to face, without interupting to check a facebook update or new tweet. Although, i wouldn't agree that everyone is to the point that Campbell has reached, where he is literally so caught up in technology he can't even put it down on a family vacation. His wife feels neglected at times and tries not to get herself wrapped up in all craziness.
The research done on multitaskers was very relevent to his point and goes to show that multitasking is not a good concept. Multitaskers have a difficult time filtering out the irrelevant information, therefore making them less capable of learning what they need to learn.
Surprisingly from the article I found that video games aren't so bad after all, they are actually proven to improve your reaction time and the ability to pick out details and get rid of clutter.
I think we could all use a technology break from the world for a while and should take Mr. Campbell as an example what not to do.

Define: me
My name is Jenna, by birth, if it wasn't so complicated I think I would try to change my name. I come from a small town in western pa, called Punxsutawney, you know the one with the famous Groundhog, Phil. I reside in Indiana, pa, where i live with my 3 bestfriends from which i graduated high school with. My friends mean the world to me, as well as my huge family. I am currently a sophmore at IUP. I just transfored here from Penn State. Being closer to home is a plus, but i mainly did it for the outstanding Nursing program here. So far my experience has been going great. My classes are extremely hard but i'm really striving for a 4.0. It's sort of geeky just talking about my schooling, but right now my education is my top priority! On a side note, I'm outgoing and I am not afarid to speak my mind, watch out! :)
