Digital Nation

Agreements:
1. No one supervises what you do on the Internet at home, you could do anything and no one would ever know!
2.While we use computers we are like in another world because we're there physically but not mentally.
3.We don't actually have vacations now because we're always checking news/ chatting with friends who are not there.
4.We are procrastinators because of the Internet because we use it while studying and we waste time.
5. Internet can be an diction because we want more and more of it, like on Face Book we keep refreshing the news feed even though we know there is nothing new.
6.Internet Camp is good for addicts, it makes them realize what they are missing by being inside.
7. To avoid addiction we need to be taught since we are little how to manage our time on the Internet.
8. Teenagers just know how to use technology! We are never taught anything we just explore it and learn from it.
9. We are more interested in class if we are using technology, it becomes boring if not.
10. We should embrace the technology we have. I mean think about it... technology is amazing.
11. Walking into a class with no media is like walking into a desert, its true it feels like we are in another world when there is no technology around us.
12. People are using the internet irresponsibly, like the woman that quit her job because she wanted to play a game!

Disagreements:
1. They shouldn't allow computers all class, it should be like only 30 min because if not, we just don't focus completely.
2.The Internet keeps us from living a normal life. I disagree because this doesn't happen if we know how to manage it.
3."Technology is line oxygen" That is a bit exaggerated, we need to learn how to live without the Internet.
4.Our writ ting skills do not suffer because of technology, the other way around! They are enriched.
5.Books will never go away! They are precious and new generations need to appreciate them.
6.Meeting people on Internet games is not good! People can be whoever they want on the Internet, but not on real life! We need to socialize, not be on the computer.
7. People can't multitask, its very hard and you cant give your 100 percent into one thing, you just do all the things you are doing at the same time badly.
8. "Height affects your negotiation skills" I disagree completely, not just because you are tall does that mean that you have a better chance of being successfully, that's ridiculous.
