  While this may be very effective, there are two points of contention. How does technology effectively blend in with learning? and the second is, How do we overcome the negative side effects of using technology?

  I believe that this is one of the most effective examples of how technology is affecting us today. We can now learn at our own pace, which is very beneficial to everyone. By sharing and collaborating with others, we also build relationships and interact in ways that have never been heard of before.

  While this may be true in some cases, it is not true for all children. For example, when I 'surf' the web, I also read articles. On another note, not all games rely on visual or aural stimuli.
