Digital Nation Video Reaction

This video really focused on how much our lives are depending on technology. People spend their whole lives on their computers or iPhones and do not really get out much. They can even develop disorders from spending so much time playing online games or just staring at a screen for a long period of time.

It is really scary how much our lives become dependent on the internet and other technologies, but at the same time, it helps us to interact more with people in ways that we would not before. It is good to be involved in the digital world, but you also have to be able to interact in the real world. Without being able to handle both, you run the risk of falling behind in one or the other. You may even lose touch with both worlds.

This video focused on multiple aspects of digital involvement. It talked about people in schools being so involved in their computers, people being obsessed or even addicted to online games, and air force soldiers flying their droids from a whole separate location. All of these things can either hurt or help our society in ways that we may not even be able to see. I only hope we can still stop and think about real-life interactions and how they affect us even more than our digital ones.
