I read "Lost in Electronica" by George Will. In this he talked about how life back then had it's peaks and vallies of boredom and excitement. Now life consists of only peaks. This occures mostly in boys. With television, texting, videogames, and computers, boys are constantly doing something. This matters to the world because boys i n the future will be the men leading our nation. I don't think that we want leaders that don't know what to do when they are bored. We want leaders that will take life by the horns and will do something useful during that free time. This matters to education because in our somewhat corrupt education system, we have technology absorbing our time. With computer based homework and required internet research, make it easy to get distracted while trying to do homework with things like facebook, youtube, and twitter. This matters to me because if boys are becoming too involved in technological devices maybe I should try to involve myself in less of those things and more in traditional entertainment.
