It seems that in this new generation, Internet searching and text messaging has claimed victory over us all. It seems like all of us cant seem to put that phone down or get off that computer. You also have your mother voice saying get your lazy ass of the comp or stop texting at the dinner table. Well I say stick with it. Study's have now said that all of these things have helped with the brains ability to filter information and make snap decisions.
Now I do agree that people who do these things all the time will only be stuck with virtual friends and thats it. The people doing these studies have also said that in this new generation the people coming out on top of the world is the people with the mix of technological and social skills. They do say that the world is becoming increasingly more technological obviously and that the brain needs to be exposed to it more for it to take control of the that technology trying to control us.
I do agree with all they have to say 100 percent. Its very straight forward to everyone of what the world is going to change to. But the best part of the deal is that we still get to keep using that computer and texting on that phone we know and love everyday.

That's great! I'm a guy and I never really was huge in the texing world until like a year ago. That could have been because I didn't have texting on my phone at the time. But now that I do, that's about all I do. I never call any of my friends anymore, only if they do not have texting or have run out of texting. But these days almost everyone has unlimited texts. Texting is an addiction and I don't know why, but I love it. And if it's better for me and my brain then I'm definitely going to keep on doing it! I was pretty excited when I read that!
That's definitely a valid entry. Even though TXT'ing can be very addicting I like the fact that this addiction can be thought of as handy to quick decision capabilities. The rate at which some people can TXT with other people in separate conversations without confusing the conversations with each other is a spectacle in its self. The moment I got unlimited TXT'ing was the moment that I absolutely could not put my phone down for longer than five minutes. Good choice of subject. Keep it up!
