The Digital Nation

i have always grown up in the digital world. since i was young, videogames and computers have been an overwhelming component to my life. however, i have never considered the negative ramifications of the digital era i have for too long enjoyed and overlooked. 


when writing an essay, facebook becomes one of my most helpful tools. not only do i connect with friends and ask questions pertaining to the assignment, but i also find manners to distract myself and relax before the next paragraph. to think i was in fact lowering my ability to complete the simple task of writing an essay with digital components would seem preposterous and outlandish! however, after watching digital nation, i find it quite believable and understandable that through a distorted and broken focus, i lose much of the significant concentration necessary to create a beautiful essay or complete an assignment. with my newfound knowledge, i am extremely determined to consider work separate to other digital notions.
