"No one appreciates the value of personal interaction or nature. Everything is go, go, go. Not once do we stop. Before being introduced to my phone and computer, I had been more appreciative of the world around me"

This evidence shows how in the fast-paced world people still find ways to rely on technology.

"How could they look so happy? Then I thought . . . Maybe it’s because they don’t have all that modern technology. They aren’t subjected to the black hole of endless information."

This evidence illustrates how some people can be happy without relying on technology.

Evidence: "The world is facing many problems, but young people using the power of technology - have the opportunity to solve them" This illustrates the idea that humans do rely on technology for many things but not in a negative way. People use technology to solve problems and make opportunities to help the world.

She says that you can always find something better to do that has nothing to do with technology.

teenager nowadays. I put my phone down to shut the curtains, then I continued to mindlessly scroll through Miley’s Instagram

The feeling that they’re missing out on something makes it hard to take a break. And they don’t have to—smartphones have made it possible to log in from any place at any time. The result is more stress...Social networking can cause serious emotional problems. Everyone knows the effects of online bullying... getting no response to a post or not being “friended” can also be very painful."

Will it be unimaginable that we needed long, easily tangled wires in our ears in order to listen to music?

"The effects can be physical, too. Frequent users of social media often suffer from pain in their fingers and wrists. Blood vessels in their eyes and necks can narrow. Their backs can ache from being hunched over phones and computers for hours at a time. Texting is another problem created by technology... One study found that young people send an average of 34 texts a night after they get into bed! This loss of sleep can affect the ability to concentrate, problem-solve, and learn."
