Students and Technology, Constant Companions

Summary: Kids are getting distracted by textinq. Textinq is becominq a huqe problem for some kids bcuz iht's affecting their grades & family. Even when kids are doing homewrok they jump to get their fone to answer a text. Kids aren't spendinq enouqh time with their family bcuz they alwqays textinq.

Reaction: Dis is not shockinq at all. I do the samethinq. The reason i do this is bcuz wen sumone txts me i want to kno who txted me & waht dey have to say. I txt while i do everythinq. All daa time im txtinq. Sometimes when im on da fone people txt mee & for some reason i have to answer tht txt.

  1. like u said that many kids are getting distracted is because they dont consentrate. so when they answer back and return to their work they dont know what to do.

  2. I also think this isnt shocking because i know i do the same exact thing and i bet most of the kids in my class do the same

  3. Many people are becoming slaves to their cell phones.

    In order to combat this, I personally will leave my phone at home sometimes when I go out. People lived throughout history without cell phones and I think we all should make sure we don't neglect other important priorities on account of cell phones/texting.
