    While many strive for technological advances, others are worried that technology can take over cognitive skills in human beings. From watching television to strolling on the Internet, humans are starting to depend too greatly on technological devices and are losing the importance of the malleability of the brain. Because we depend too greatly on technology, people will start to lose the concept of face-to-face interactions, enhancement of relationships, critical thinking processes, and writing abilities.

In the beginning, the author’s point is that America’s “Lazy” language in texting and email are showing more of sophistication, even though it is not the proper way to speak with the 7-10 words a sentence.

    That perhaps the taboo of technology creating a dumber generation is in fact a misrepresentation. This is explained when Lunsford expresses that, “Young people are for the most part aware of the context and audience for their writing” (Lunsford 572).
