This article we had to read I feel spoke to quite a few of those who had to read it. Now a days we have so much technology at our disposal, both for play and work. Many things such as computers work for both, which can make it difficult to separate the two. The internet can be the biggest problem because of how easily we can become distracted while on it. One thing in the article that especially stuck out to me was that on average computer users visit 40 websites a day. I know for me that is way over the correct number. I have about 7 I visit daily, but I do visit them often so I may end up visiting those same sites close to 40 times in total.
Another big part of this article was multitasking. We all do it, there is no doubt about that. Some, I feel, just are able to do it better then others. I can easily do an online quiz in one tab while looking up the answers to said quiz on another while asking friends on Facebook about the other questions. The difference in being able to multitask and being sidetracked is like reading this article online. There are many links to go to other sites but if you ignore them you can easily continue on with your article and do the one task you were assigned. This was a little different for me though since my internet decided to shut down randomly and wouldn't let me change pages so I was actually forced to switch to the paper copy. I prefer it better anyway.
Closing statements:
Comcast Internet SUCKS!!!!
The damn raccoons in the attic to my apartment woke up while I was writing this so that was a little distracting since they started to fight.
My stupid landlords wont fix my fridge, which the freezers automatic defroster has clearly broken since it starts defrosting about once every 2 hrs.
