I both agree and disagree with this statement. In my experience, yes the average kid spends a lot of time on technology. However, it's not because they're "hooked," it's because what other choice do we have? We can go out and get fresh air, yes, but beyond certain activities everything is moving to and relying on technology. Distance learning is hours and hours of work on one computer, and we aren't in control of that. When looking for a job, experience with technology is crucial. As we move on in life, more and more things move to the internet. Personally, I'd rather interact more with the world around me, but I have so little time and freedom that the only thing around me is technology. So, yes the average kid develops a distant stare, but not necessarily because we are hooked.

I would say that this is true especially in my family. We all spend so much time in our electronics that sometimes we don’t even go outside the whole day. My little sister has to be watching something, weather it be on the phone or television, while eating. The only time we really put our electronics down is at family gatherings/parties, and even there we sometimes use our electronics to put music videos on.

I would say that for my family this is true. While my family does spend time together, it is not always enjoyable. There are multiple reasons why it just isn't a pleasant time spending time with my family but, overall the reason we spend more time on our screens than conversing with one another is because one is enjoyable and the other feels like a chore.

I completely agree with this quote of Primal Screen, because when I'm with my family we barley have something to talk about but we at least acknowledge the fact that we're spending time together . But when we all watch TV together everyone completely forgets who's in the room. For example my sister can walk out and no one would notice. So the television definitely changes people/family when its on.

ThisI believe that this is true because we see it in everyday life. From waiting for the commercial break to talk to someone to just telling someone to wait until the episode is done we alll just choose to ignore what it does to our life.

I would say that for my family this is somewhat true, but not entirely. While most of my family does spend a lot of their time on devices, we also spend a lot of time together. We converse a lot when we all have time or just in general as we have random conversations throughout the day, especially during dinner. My siblings and I mainly spend time together, since we all take care of our dog or want to share stories of what we saw or heard.

In "Primal Screen, Ellen Goodman writes,"... we spend more time facing the screen than each other." I would say this is 100 percent true, us as people rather watch the tv or be on our phone then spend time together. We started watching TV at a young age so for us now for us its a habit. For example, When me and my friends have a sleep over or spend time together mostly all of them are on there phone instead of having a conversation. In this generation especially us teenagers our on our phones or watching TV, its a distraction and we know that but yet we still chose to watch TV.

I believe that this statement is completely true using my experiences with my family. Most kids usually spend most of their day in front of a screen whether its a TV, cellphone, or tablet. This is true for my family as my youngest sibling is either always on his tablet or he is sleeping. I am also guilty of this as I used to spend most of my time during the day in front of a television screen.

This is a true fact because we could be so zoned out on the screen but not say a single word to somebody which makes the relationship or friendship awkward and uncomfortable, but when you talk to somebody that you and the other person have in common then you guys could talk for hours and do activities with and have so much joy.

I would say this is true for my family and I. Each of us do spend a lot of time on our devices. This doesn't give us the chance to really talk to one another. The only time we do is mostly when we are eating or at family gatherings.

In Primal Screen, Goodman claims, "The average kid develops that distant, slack-jawed, hypnotic, hooked stare because he or she IS hooked." I agree with this statement and I think it's true for a lot of little kids these days, personally for my little brother as well. Usually when the parents are busy, they toss the iPad at their face with really no restrictions and they're free to use the internet, and we all know what's on there. They're on them for hours watching endless entertainment, it's pretty much a TV but you can take it anywhere. At the same time, I'm not against technology, but the screen shouldn't take on the role of a parent, thus you should spend quality time in person instead of on the screen.

In my case this is true. Sometimes we watch movies together but once that movie is done we go back on our screens/technology. Obviously we see each other and talk face to face to each other but we are on our phones most of the time.

In ¨Primal Screen, Ellen Goodman writes,¨...we spend more time facing the screen than each other¨. I would say that for my family this isn't 100% true. Although we do take time out of our day to either watch TV or be on our phones, we have moments in where we are present with each other. For example, in my family, we all eat dinner together and have strict phone rules. We make sure to take this time to communicate with each other. Ellen Goodman´s quote is different for every one. It depends on the family.

In this statement Goodman claims that frustration caused by technology is based within true concern. It is implicitly stated in this quote that families feel ignored by one another because they are being ignored. Relationships are put under immense strain when the effects of time spent on technology are visible to all those in the family. There are instances within my own family relating to my younger relatives in which they feel ignored by older relatives on the basis of time due to technology. The youngests will get handed technologies when they wish to have time shared instead. So, in my opinion Ellens statement is valid within the fact that I have seen such instances played out within my own life.

In "Primal Screen, Ellen Goodman writes, "...we spend more time facing the screen than each other." This is true for a lot of people. Kids nowadays have phones and tablets they are always on. Adults have phones, laptops and TVs they spend their days looking at and teenagers waste hours on their devices as well. The average person spends more time on a screen than talking or interacting with others.

In Primal Screen, Ellen Goodman states "The average kid develops that distant, slack-jawed, hypnotic, hooked stare because he or she IS hooked." I'd say that this is true for my family early on in life because I watched television a lot, and I would use technology more than I would talk to my family. For example, I would watch videos on YouTube in my room for hours before leaving my room to eat. In my opinion it is very easy to get hooked on something quick as a child.

I would say this statement is semi true for most cases. My family being an example. If the topic we want to discuss isn't really important, we will wait until the show or movie is on commercial to discuss. If the topic we want to discuss is important or it catches everyone attention, we will mute or turn off the TV and talk instead. Also, if we are in a social gathering, the TV is mostly never on and if it is most people pay no attention to it.

In primal screen Ellen goodman makes some very interesting points. The First quote, "...we spend more time faceing a screen than each other." I feel this is a completely true statement. Im sure if you go on most of our phones you will see our screen time is like 6 hours or more. Even I'm guilty of this.

To experience something "vicariously" means to observe it, not actually to participate in it; it's a passive experience rather than an active experience.
