I got a 9/20 which means I should cut down on my use of my smartphone. My opinion on this article is that humans probably will have a short attention span if their cellular device was near but their attention span will probably lengthen with the smartphone away from us
ReplyDeleteThe article proves how the world is today. The article gives you evidence about how people who use a lot of technology lose focus much faster than those who really don't use technology. Technology is honestly what some people live by and can't live without. There is multiple pros and cons to today's technology, but most people don't really care about the cons.
ReplyDeleteIn this survey i got 13 out of 20 which means that I have a bit of a problem. This article is about the people who use technology lose focus faster than the ones who don't use technology. For example they tested Canadians who use technology a lot that had a struggle to focus when it is needed. My opinion is you should try to focus on the things that are important and to use technology for things that has to do with education.
