Video in class

Is technology good? A controversial topic. Is it as good as they say it is? Or is it damaging our brains. I just watched a video in class about it. They said that the internet has the capability of hurting our brains. In South Korea, they have made addiction to computers, games, and the internet as an official addiction. They even have a camp where they deprive the children of technology in order to help cure them of their addiction. The internet has also made a huge impact on our workforce. There is an entire office complex facility established by IBM, only no one shows up to work. The entire building is a very nice office facility, and probably wouldn't be that bad of a place to work, if people showed up to work. They don't have to show up to work because they do all of their business online. Therefore, no one has to show up at the building to work. They can do it anywhere they have internet access. Also, there are hundreds of people who have quit jobs, dropped out of school, and don't do anything but sit and use the internet. Full grown adults, students, adolences and children have all done this. In South Korea there are PC labs where they have row after row of computers for students to use. And some have even died in such computer labs, after playing for fifty hours during gaming marathons. So, technology, specifically the internet, can be extremely useful, or very deadly. It depends on the user, and how responsible they are.
