Response to Richtel Article

I  believe that Richtel's article was not only talking about one mans excessive use of technology, but of societies dependence on electronic devices. This subject leads to the questions of: " Can we really multitask?", " Are we capable of separating ourselves from digital toys to spend time with the people we care about?",  "Will we be able to model to others peers how to limit are use of digital free time?" After reading this article, I found that most human begins have a very difficult time with balancing "electronic fun time" and other matters of supreme importance. Although  we use technology for communication and entertaining, humans abuse this tool to the extreme. Just like Kord Campbell and his family, society would not know how to live without digital devices. Furthermore, the digital era is destroying are communication skills with real live interaction, as apposed to social interaction websites like Facebook. Moreover, the Campbell's family vacation, for a while, was just the family sitting around on their devices. Ironically, very similar to most American family vacations today. Finally, excessive use of  technology can ruin a person marriage and family life. When spend so much of your time on the computer or another electronic, you end up over looking play time with your children, private time with your spouse, and other important moments in a family's history.
