Technology Tommy Gardner

Technology is a great help when it comes to work or school, but it can distract one from work very easily. While working on a paper, one could get distracted by a text message or a game. While checking the text or game thinking, "I'll just take a quick break." Then 2 hours later, "Crap, I just wasted 2 hours that should have gone to that paper." I'm guilty of this. Technology has occasionally caused me to put less time into an assignment than I should have. Sometimes when I write I turn off the internet for my computer, so that nothing works except for Microsoft word. So far technology has not caused me physical injury, but most people have seen the video of a woman texting while walking through a building, then tripping and falling into a fountain because she wasn't looking where she was going. The video shows her obviously not paying any attention, until she trips and falls into the water. If anyone wants to see the video, here it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PrD8sUluVo
