In the article “Are Smartphones Making Us Stupid” by Christopher Bergland, the University of Texas at Austin performed two experiments. The first experiment, researchers required the participants to take a series of ‘mind’ tests. Therefore, they would need full concentration and cognitive capacity while completing these series of exams. There is always a catch. Researchers recommended keeping their phone on their desk, putting it in their pocket or personal bag, or they could place their phone in a separate room than they are testing in. Many people kept their phones in the same room; however, there were a few leaders that placed their phone in a separate room. After the exam, the researchers found out that the leaders that placed their phone in the different room performed much higher test scores than the followers that kept their phone next to them.

Christopher wants to get rid of technology because he wants people to communicate with each other. He’s trying to increase our social skills, but April wants to decrease them. April’s inventing communication through ‘skin to skin’ contact. Therefore, our social skills would no longer be in the picture and since there will be no social skills, Christopher Bergland would disagree with Regina Dugan’s
