https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/14/learning/does-technology-make-us-more-alone.html
This article talks about how technology like our smart phones actually make us more isolated from others. The little screens that were suppose to bring us together by making it easier to communicate has actually caused us to prefer life behind a screen instead of taking in what is around you.  The article includes comments from students saying that their parent hardly look up from their phones long enough to talk about their day. The article also mentions that people are often found others around them staring at their phone and tend to do the same either self consciously or to avoid interactions with others and making and awkward situation. So this shows that because of technology, it becomes our natural instinct to stare at our phones and screens causing us to be more isolated from those around us.  ]]> 2018-03-15 18:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hstankiewicz/x6p8kq62o8n1/wish/242527465 Mireille Saeed https://padlet.com/hstankiewicz/x6p8kq62o8n1/wish/242532441 " How Evil is Tech?"  by the New York Times
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/20/opinion/how-evil-is-tech.html
This article is about how Technology can take over our lives and we don't even notice. Technology was cool at first but how bad is it really? The article talks about how now eighth graders who spend 10 or more hours on social media are 56% more likely to be unhappy than the kids who go on technology less. Technology causes isolation which causes apathy. Teens who spend more than three hours on technology have a 35% higher risk of suicide in the future than the teens who spend their time wisely.

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/03/06/518362255/feeling-lonely-too-much-time-on-social-media-may-be-why
This article gives a survey to young adults and asks them information about social media. The survey showed that people who spend more than 2 hours a day on social media question why they're being left out when people who spend less time on social media don't feel the same way. People that spend more than 2 hours of time on social media per day have twice the odds of perceived social isolation. People who visit social media over 58 times a week are three times the odds of perceived social isolation. This article gives a good argument to why technology causes isolation.

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/22/magazine/is-social-media-disconnecting-us-from-the-big-picture.html
This article explains that though we can learn things from the internet and social media, at the same time we could be ignorant to other things happening in the world. The writer writes that his social media keeps articles from him because he dislikes one. It won't pop up so he can't see anything that the phone or app thinks he doesn't want to see. Because of this he was oblivious to news around him. Technology, though we use it to find things out, can also he us ignorant to other things.]]> 2018-03-15 18:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/hstankiewicz/x6p8kq62o8n1/wish/242536281 Mustafa Munaim mmun0246 https://padlet.com/hstankiewicz/x6p8kq62o8n1/wish/242537733 The Disconnected

This article shows that kids are becoming more isolated and anti-social as time goes on because of technology. They say if you go back in time, parks were filled with kids playing and laughing and having fun, but now parks are silent. 75% of kids wake up in the morning and look at their phone for the first thing in the day. A study showed that they took technology away from kids for 24 hours and the kids felt lonely and didn't know what to do with their time. A study also shows that kids often have arguments online or crude remarks (roasting) online, this can cause physical violence later or low self-esteem for young kids which hurts them later in life. This article shows a good insight that we should get kids outdoors more and away from technology for a little bit in the day.

This article talks about how there are not many options on what we can do to truly be alone anymore. An example used was airplanes and how they were once places where there was no technology, and all you could do was read or sleep. But nowadays, you see people playing video games, watching movies, or using their smartphones all the time on planes. There's been a lot of attention towards how technology takes everyone's attention away from the real world and ruining relationships between one another. A study had also been shown that people would rather shock themselves than sit still in a room alone. ]]> 2018-03-19 00:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hstankiewicz/x6p8kq62o8n1/wish/243279678 Janine Anzelone janz1574 https://padlet.com/hstankiewicz/x6p8kq62o8n1/wish/243282317 ¨Why Social Media Isn't Always Very Social¨

This article talks about how people who spend more time on social media sites feel more isolated than those who don't use them. Studies show that this might be because of lack of interaction between one another. Millions of people around the world use social media everyday to communicate with friends and family. Yet social media isn't that social.

This article first talks about a study done at UCLA, where kids who were deprived of screens for 5 days got much better at reading people's emotions rather than kids who continued their normal screen filled lives. Another experiment that the article talked about was done with groups of sixth graders. One group was sent to an outdoor camp for 5 days, and another group stayed in school with the normal technology they would have for 5 days. Once the five days were over, they showed the students videos and pictures depicting people showing different emotions, and the group that was on the outdoor trip for 5 days was a lot better at understanding and spotting the different emotions being shown. The article also talked about a study that showed students on average spend 4 and a half hours on devices such as phones or video games on a typical school day.]]> 2018-03-21 16:54:26 UTC https://padlet.com/hstankiewicz/x6p8kq62o8n1/wish/244634835 Mustafa Munaim mmun0246 https://padlet.com/hstankiewicz/x6p8kq62o8n1/wish/244647826 Text or Talk: Is Technology Making You Lonely?
