This is the page I viewed. I know it isn't quite as fancy as the video but it does give generally the same information.Interesting statistics on teens and technology. A lot of these shocked me. For example the video games it seems more adults are getting back into them with an average user age of 34.

Everyone knows someone like the guy below. Why are you checking your phone? You're in the weather! It is ridiculous how dependent most of are on our smart phones. People panic when they lose them. That's why we spend the extra 10$ a month on phone insurance right? Or have most of us just become to dependent on our phones to remember how file an insurance claim without one?

 The fact that really pissed me off was the one about a higher percentage of kids knowing how to use a computer than being able to tie their shoes. I mean seriously? I know technology is the new big thing for kids and I get that, but teaching your kid to work a computer at age 3 isn't necessarily going to make him become the new CEO of Google. Even if it did. He'll never be taken seriously if he's wearing Velcro shoes to all the board meetings. Might as well wear one of those goofy colorful hats with the spinning propeller on top.

The more research I did for this post and the current essay we were writing really started to concern me. However i did research it all on the computer. Technology will be the end of life as we know it. Pretty soon we're going to have a global epidemic caused by a smart system meant to protect us and turning on us like skynet in the terminator movies.
