I think as a teenager growing up in this time period, it is safe to say that our generation is obsessed with technology outlets, and even rely on them (sadly). We have all the information we could ever dream of, at our fingertips or located on our desktops. I think this could have a negative impact, due to the fact that if we are unaware of something, or do not know what something is or what something means, we rely on the internet to tell us, and think, "Oh, I can just look that up on google, and google will tell me everything I need to know about such subject." That being said, I think that is not a positive way to think, and the desire to learn new information on our own, without getting the information digitally is dwindling. However, once our media outlets die, or are taken from us, the fact that we will not know where to obtain information is scary.
It is important to put the phone or tablet down every once in awhile and live life, and actually engage in conversation with others, instead of from behind a lit up triangular screen.
I somewhat disagree with this opinion. I understand what Cassie means when she says if our technology was ever taken from us we would be screwed. But, on the other hand I don't think its physically possible for our technology to ever not be at our fingertips. If technology just gets more and more advanced, in reality it doesn't matter if were going to be stupid, because we are ALL going to be stupid anyways !
