Actually, I didn't know. This video that I just watched on You Tube by Karl Fisch was a complete shocker to me. Well I figured that the statistics were pretty high when it came to how many people spend the majority of their time watching television or staring at a computer for hours upon hours, but I had no clue that the statistics were so outrageous. It almost makes me want to sit down and evaluate how much time I spend doing things that are not productive. I am completely addicted to Myspace and Facebook. I have to check it every single time I sit in front of a computer, except when I'm in Dr. Strange's class ;)! I can literally be on my computer for hours at a time, searching for pointless stuff for my own entertainment. It is sad to think that four year olds are already using computers. To a certain extent, I think that is great because there are so many good things that come from the use of a computer and the internet, but when I have children I hope to keep them away from computers and video games as long as possible. Our nation has become way too dependent on such things created through technology, and I feel that society has been dumbed down. In fact, I'm not even sure if I used correct grammar in that past sentence, but I'm relying on this composer hoping it would have shown me a little red or green squiggly line to notify me that I have said something incorrectly.
Where will we be 20 years from now? 30 years? 40? I am sure the statistics will only get worse...
