Facebook is something that I go on daily. It doesn't matter where I am at, whether it be in the car, at my games, or at home, I have to check my facebook for the latest update. Its so interesting because there is so much you can look at, like video's, pictures, people's comments, the whole 9 yards. It is something that interests me and it makes me feel like I know whats going on in other peoples lives and experiences right through my computer screen.

Mediatakeout is also something that I am addicted too and interested in. I like to know what celebrities are doing and what they are going through. They don't always do celebrities, they also just give politics sometimes, and they give you insight on stuff that is all over the united states. It's also funny to read other peoples reactions on the celebrities and politics that mediatakeout talks about. It's a website that keeps me on top of the things that I am interested in, and thats why I like it.

This website talks about how video games put a big imact on children.It also talks about how the growth sales of video games exceeded 18 billion dollars because video games are being brought so much and it is so much into the youth culture now and days. They say that even though video games can give a positive impact on children, parent should be concerned about the influences that video games can give them.

These 2 websites talks about how Teens that are using the internet are increasing rapidly. They say that 21 million kids between the ages of 12 and 17 are surfing the web and half of them are saying that they use it everyday. They also said that "81 percent of wired teens play games online, which is 52 percent higher than four years ago".They just talk about the different pieces of technllgy and how the percentage of the usage is getting bigger and bigger. I feel that this is crazy and if parents don't sop their kids now from using the internet everyday, then i feel that this situation is really going to get out of hand. Even though I use the internet, I now try to limit myself to using it for only 1hr.

This website talks about how Television has teens glued to the screen all the time. It says that TV's are "an unpretentious-looking box that has the power to hold individuals in a hypnotic state with their eyes glued to a screen of rapidly moving images" I agree. Kids are watching TV so much that ater they graduate they have more hours watching TV then hours working in the class room. This shows that TV has a big impact on teens and adults these days.
