Is Technology Messing With Your Brain?

Introduction: 

Is technology messing with your brain? Experts have been trying to answer that question, but to my opinion, I believe it is. Did you know that that kids who played video games before bed had trouble remembering vocabulary words they'd tried to memorize earlier that day? I believe technology is taking over kids brain because it's making kids spend more time with gadgets than with their friends, you may lose ability to focus on a single activity for any length and time, and kids won't let their brains have a break so they can study or relax. This is why I believe technology is taking over our brains. 

It's making kids spend to much time with their gadgets than their friends. They are doing this by going on YouTube to watch music videos, clips, movies, etc. They are doing that instead of talking to friends and trying to catch up from what they messed. They care more about their gadgets than their friends when it comes to technology. I believe this is bad for kids to spend more time with their gadgets than their friends.

It will make kids lose ability to focus on a single activity for the length and time. This can make kids be less organized when it comes to school. It can make them think only about video games in class also. Kids won't let their brains have a break so they can study or relax. They won't because when they get home, they only think about video games, using their iPod, computer, phone, etc. I think that making kids lose the ability to lose focus on a single activity for the length of time and that kids won't be able to get a break.

Conclusion:

To sum up this article, I believe that technology is taking over our brains. It does because kids spend more time with their gadgets than friends, may lose ability to focus on a single activity for any length and time, and kids won't let their brains have a break to study or just to relax. I feel that technology is good, but it shouldn't take over kids or adults brains. If technology can do that in this generation, imagine what it will do in maybe the next decade.

Questions and challenge:

1. What do you think about technology?
2. What would you do if you didn't have technology?
     Challenge: Stay without any technology for at least 4 days.
So in conclusion, I believe technology is taking over our brains.
