Blog#6 What's the Matter with Kids Today?

In the beginning of this article it begins to talk about kids today and how they don't care about anything, only their iPods and internet. It then says,"Or is it the older generation that the internet has seduced?" This is now including majority of the world and stating it's not really only the kids that have something wrong with them. The article then transitions into how terrible the internet is for young people, meanwhile they should be reading books and watching Dr. King. When I began reading this article I was sure it was about how corrupt young people were today. As I read further into the text I was surprised that it wasn't bashing on young people as much as I thought. I liked the part where it concludes that teenagers read and write for fun, that it is part of their social lives. What I got from this article was that with a little research regarding the internet, it really isn't the villain at all. Lastly, this article began with the negative effects of today's children, and transitioning into why these "negative" effects are actually positive. "Thank the internet for making him or her a writer and a thinker."
