Digital Nation

Recently in my ENC1102 class we watched a documentary on Digital Nation. The film was very interesting. It talked about how people is basically caught up or wrapped up into the digital world. The video really caught my attention about the digital world. I never notice how I and the people around me, even in the world are hooked to computers, phones, and video games. The world revolves around the internet literally. What was interesting in the video was when they did a study on the MIT students. The students thought that multitasking was actually making them more thinkers and learners. Once the study was over they were proven wrong. It showed that doing many things at once actually slows your brain down. I personally am a part of the digital world. My experience has been the same as everyone else. For example like now currently I’m typing my journal, listening to YouTube, on Facebook and twitter. I’m even talking and texting on my cell phone. I know I shouldn't be on any of these sites or on my phone. But I’m still getting my blog done. I also love playing video games on Xbox connect, Wii, and PlayStation 3. I’m into racing games and games that you really have to physically use your body in order to play. The video games that I dislike are the ones with action, violence, and war in them. But I don’t spend hours on the video games like I would on the internet. I wonder how life would be if it wasn't a digital world.
