In this movie Digital Nations, it talks about computers and how
it’s affecting the generation and lives today. Parents have been speculating
that their kids and more people have become immersed in the digital world as a
way of life. There are some people who just can’t imagine their lived without
their computers or phones, when only about 10-20 years ago all this technology
was mostly for business and the wealthy people. Douglas Rushkoff who once
thought that the internet and change would be good for the future generation
has doubts about it now. Studies have shown from NASA that people that think
they are quick at multitasking are actually slower in everything then the
average person.
In University of Massachusetts, In South Korea,
computer and gaming has become a huge part of the younger generation and
continues its popularity. Kids that are in second grade are already taught how
to use a computer and understand the functions of it. It has become an
increasing problem in Korea, because there has been kids that have died from
playing tournaments without food and drinks. This problem has also
caused a decrease in the learning ability of students not just in South Korea,
but around the world. It distracts the students from solely focusing on their
studies and cause them to do bad at school.
