Electronic Communication | Pew Research Center - 1 views

  •  
    This article contains several data tables that show the different modes of communication and how often we use each one. Certain graphs organize data by gender, age, impact on school, and much more. Something that interested me was that our time spent on text-based technology has negatively impacted our ability to write. This article analyzes each set of data points and puts our usage of electronics into perspective, as technology has dominated the way we converse.

Technology is Destroying the Quality of Human Interaction - The Bottom Line UCSB - 2 views

  •  
    This article posted by UCSB speaks to the fact that technology is harming our human interaction, and we are reliant on it for many aspects of our everyday lives. The author uses several examples such as texting a friend, emailing a professor (instead of going in for help,) or missing the opportunity to meet new people. It's important to be mindful of how often one is going on a device because there is more to the world than the internet, social media, etc.

What is Dyslexia? - Yale Dyslexia - 0 views

  •  
    This article published from Yale briefly informs the reader about what dyslexia is, and how it can impact a person's everyday life. Something that is very interesting is even though dyslexia can create a setback when interpreting literature, many people who have dyslexia are some of the most creative thinkers. This just proves that the condition cannot define the intelligence of an individual. Even though it cannot be cured, it is very possible to have success and "overcome" this obstacle.
