I read an article with the title of Faster Internet, Slower Children. In this piece of writing I came across a conclusion stating, "Patricia Greenfield, a professor of psychology at UCLA and the director of the Children's Digital Media Center, analysed 50 studies on learning and technology, and concluded that while our visual literacy has improved, our ability to think and reflect is threatened as we hurry the transition from print to visual media." Following up on those statements, I am more focused on the addiction that is skyrocketing with social media.

TED 2009: Jim Stolze Asks "Can You Live without the Internet?" Perf. Brian Cox, Philip Zimbardo, Aimee         Mullins. 2009. Film.

        Jim Stolze speaks about the internet. He is speaking to a large crowd, talking about what would happen if we didn't have the internet. This does not relate to kids and the usage of internet, but I would also like to compare the intelligence of adults in my paper. The tools that he use in his speech was a test. He did an experiment on himself, going a month without using the internet. The first week was okay, he was still adapting to life without the internet. The second week he was feeling some regret. The third week came and he finally found at peace. When the fourth and final week came and he was almost finished, he was questioning it all. What does he do next? This experiment shows that there are many emotions with the usage of the internet. This can lead to an intelligence difference between children or adults that use the internet one hour a day compared to six. The big picture links the use of the internet to happiness. I am going to be using this video in my project to show that kids who grow up with the internet might feel this kind of emotion or worse if they ever try to give it up in the future. I plan on finding more videos and articles that relate to emotion, I think that this could be a good couple paragraphs in my paper. I also believe that the experiment aspect is neat and I might try to find more of this.

                                                              The Internet Today

       The aim of this piece of writing is to explain to the author's audience about children on the internet. The author argues that children will soon know and experience more than their parents or any adult will. Children in this day and age must have ground rules with their parents, to keep them away from certain sites. The author shifts focus by having the first paragraph as the introduction or the background paragraph. The next paragraph is the source used by the author, and then the article ends. The first paragraph is where the author cites the source that is shown in the next paragraph. That would be one transition of the article. The author uses a long source to back up her argument. The source gives ideas on what parents can do to monitor what their son or daughter does on the internet. Technology is just going to keep growing, and parents need to keep their children safe. The question is, what method will be the most effective method in the future?
