Response to "Are Your Tech Habits Hurting Your Grades?"

In the article, Are Your Tech Habits Hurting Your Grades, Shannon Doyne and Holly Epstein Ojalvo discuss the effects of technology on students. While reading this, I agree with several of the points made. Technology, though incredibly useful, is severely distracting, especially towards the younger generation. Due to this fact, grades can and are negatively affected. It is definitely hard to stay on task when your friends are texting or writing you over Facebook, and to be honest, a teenager is going to check that rather then finish writing their english essay. But that doesn't mean that the younger generation isn't able to complete assignments of quality work on time. Distractions will always be there, individuals just have to learn to take care of what's important first, to learn to prioritize. Although technology can be incredibly distracting, it has also become a huge part of the world and forever will be. Technology is very helpful and a great source for ages everywhere.
