Tech Savvy Vs. Tech(nically) Stupid

As we get into the GAGA and Ke ( dollar sign) ha age, the number of Internet users has reached an all-time high, and the the age of users in becoming younger and younger. With Laptops being used in schools and free iPads given away at the grade school level the pressing question to me becomes,

Is technology making us more stupider ? (hence the horrible grammar)

To examine this I call back on my friend Nicholas Carr who describes technology as a tool used to handicap the mind. (Check out this article )

My opinion
Honestly I fond myself sometimes using Google a little too much. I lean on HULU to catch up on the latest shows, and gosh i have to admit,

sometimes I'm such a Facebook junkie

(okay, My name is Monica, and I have a problem). Thinking over encounters with my oldest nephew I'm reminded of the fact that though he LOVES the Wii and though phineas and ferb have become his drug, he loves bike riding and basketball and running just as much. So, maybe its not all that bad, but hey what do I know, my nephew's only 6.
