In my opinion a lot of the problems they talked about in this article didn't really surprise me, other than the facts about people's vision improving from playing video games.
I have family members that are always on their phones emailing for work or making work related phone calls. I also have brothers and cousins that are glued to gaming systems. I know my aunt gets annoyed that her husband is always on his phone checking his email even when he's supposed to be on vacation. He would never be able to go without his phone or computer for a day, but who am I to judge? I always have my cell phone on me, but that's mostly to text my boyfriend who's two hours away.
Sometimes I really do feel like life would be so much easier if all this technology never existed. People wouldn't have to worry about who their husband or wife is texting or who they are talking to on Facebook. Facebook is now the number one cause of fighting among relationships. I think it's very important to have family time and just get away from the world of technology and not be so addicted to it! It's definitely a struggle though. If I had a dollar for every time I checked my phone and Facebook during the day, I wouldn't need student loans.
We all just need to take a step back and look at the big picture; our grandparents made it through life without cell phone, computers, and TVs, why can't we?
I think more boundaries and limitation need to be set on the amount of electronic use throughout the day. People need to start appreciating what and who is around them, not have their face buried in their Blackberry.
