Digital Nation

After watching the film digital nation it leaves me with conflicting ideas on how I feel about growing up in the mass media age. As a child of this media upcoming, I feel it has helped a great deal as far as getting in contact of people emmediantly or getting help with assignments but i also realized how much its brought us to our knees as far as it being something that can cause withdrawls. It has made people dependent on the constant media stream. People cant seem to go without video games, cell phones, computers anymore. I dont mean everyone, but almost evryone. Its like learning a new language, at a younger age its easier to learn because of the brains development, children whom pick this up early on know everything digital like the back of their hands. Its amazing yet eary at the same time.
