Social Development
In the article I read about Social Development of Children I was shocked to read about some of the facts and statistics that they were stating. The article talked about how kids who are always on facebook and texting are starting to really lack social skills because they aren't used to face to face contact. These kids find it easier to just talk online because if they were face to face with another person its harder to come up with things to say and they aren't really used to socializing. The article also said that teenagers send on average 2,000 text messages per month. If you really think about it, that is so many messages being sent and thats only the average. Individual teenagers probably send about 6,000 text messages a month. I personally am starting to realize how many texts I probably send in a month and it is alot. We dont notice or think its a big deal because it so common to be texting all the time. But in reality its going to have a negative effect on us because we can barely socialize with people because we are so used to not talking in person! Studies have really shown that our generation is dependent on these technologies and even if we tried to stop it would probably be harder then we thought.

I agree with you Kerry. I feel that some teenagers have trouble socializing face to face because they are so used to texting or communicated through a social networking site. I feel that this could effect teenagers in the future, when they have to communicate face to face like when going on a job interview. I also agree with you about how dependent were are with a phone and how many text we send a month. I think that I am going to be more aware of the amount of text i send. Sometimes i text my mom and question and shes right down stairs, instead of going downstairs and talking to her. I am going to try to limit the amount of text i send by trying to communicate with people face to face.
