Accessed 16 Nov. 2017. Cheryl Capozzoli elaborates more on her article that children learn how to get along with other children in the early years of childhood. Kids learn how to interact and get what they want with how they ask and communicate, but sadly it is not that way anymore because children are so attached to technology because the parents want to give the kids something to be quiet and calm down. This is a prime example of how children grow up without developing the social skills at a young age then later have problems talking to a girlfriend or performing well enough in a job interview.

And in doing that this generation will get behind on developing certain social skills due to the overuse of technology that blinds teens into thinking there is nothing wrong with never having to go out and physically interact with someone else. Dunson does an exceptional job in his writing and he expands the idea of how teens are so attached to technology as well as how it will result in the loss of cognitive

    A professor from Stanford University, Clifford Nass, stated, "Kids have to learn about emotion, and the way they do that, really, is by paying attention to other people. They have to really look them in the eye. " Most kids these days don't even communicate face-to-face. Texting has become the main form of communication, so when kids get home, how can they look at each other in the eye if they just text? Another study has shown that children's social skills are affected negatively when they multitask with technology.…

    (p12, Coll 2) To clarify, social media takes away the need to talk to friends face to face, which can destroy friendships. To emphasize, the article also argues, “A typical teen sends more than 200 texts a week and spends 45 hours a week in front of a screen.” (P12, Coll 3) Since teens value electronics,…

    This includes a decrease in cigarette smoking, alcohol use, teen pregnancies, teen drunk driving and a considerable number of other behaviors. Many researchers “celebrate these changes”, but some attribute these changes to a “lower level of maturity”. Not surprisingly, these other researchers blame technology once again. It is stated, “Perhaps teens are safer simply because their reliance on social media and smartphone use means they are going out less”. This argument does not seem as sound as the simple idea that today’s generation is just learning from their parent’s mistakes.…

    “You spend all day with the same group of kids. You have the same teachers, play on the same teams, and shop at the same stores. It stands to reason that these people would be your friends, but it doesn’t seem to work that way. You can share a lot with other people and still not feel totally comfortable with them… they are acquaintances” (Richard). Children do not see a difference between friendship and acquaintanceship leading to miscommunication and disappointment.…

    New York Times Upfront wrote that Facebook keeps us in touch with friends, but that we often substitute social media with “ face to face” time ( reality). It is the person's choice of how much time they spend on Facebook. That person chooses whether they want to be on the phone or spend time with people. To add on to that, “research shows that a lot of online communication with little substances can sometimes make us lonely.” Adressed New York Times Upfront.…

    Imagine that it’s finally the day when you get to hang out with your sister at the mall! So far, you guys are having a good time but during the trip, you notice that most of the time she's upset and moody. You question her what's wrong but she just ignores you and asks for your phone and notices how she keeps going on the internet. You then notice how her behavior has changed and she isn't in a close relationship with your family nor her friends. I think teens should be limited online because teens who spend too much time online develop behavior changes, lifestyle changes, including their relationship with family and friends that can cause problems in their life.…

    Hyper individuation is apparent in most millennials in American society, and in many other developed countries as well. This state-of-being is distinguished as one seeing themselves as the center of everything. Hyper-individuation is most often characterized by habits of consumption of economical services and goods. Parents often tell their children, “you are not the center of the universe,” but observations on the campus of Western Washington University (WWU) show that this phrase did not stick in their brains. Hyper individuation is a case arguing nature vs. nurture.…

    I believe that the school need to require a social skills class for it’s students. I think a social class for kids would better help them with basic conversation, confronting other people, and talking to people outside of their own social circle. One reason kids need to be taught social skills in class is because they don’t know the fundamentals of a basic conversation. There are a lot more socially awkward kids now than any other time because all kids know how to do is text. texting does not show emotion (besides emojis) and so kids don’t know how to handle when their peers show emotion directly to their face.…

    Earlier this month I attempted the task of going 24 hours without technology. We had to look at the effects that technology had on us, and at the feelings we had during and after the event. I have to admit it was hard to undergo this task, I am a freshmen in college, and I find that I use technology everyday almost all day long. I wanted to take it a step farther and see what it’s like being a high school student and how much technology they use in a day, and what they use it for. Technology is always growing into something bigger and better.…

    In “How Facebook Ruin Friendships,” written by Elizabeth Bernstein for the Wall Street Journal, the author states the different reasons why Facebook is good, bad, and problematic.
