This is my response to the professional blog.

Technology today has provided both its advantages and disadvantages. Although there are hundreds upon hundreds of websites that nourish the mind, I agree that children and teenagers today have lost a certain degree of imagination and do spend too much time on the internet. Admittedly it is a matter of balance between nourishing the mind and dumbing it down (through hours of pointless internet surfing across various unproductive sites). However, with the lure of video games,myspace, facebook, youtube and twitter which are bound to become bigger and better I think it will become harder and harder to pull younger generations away from quick stimulation. I think it will become harder for imaginative minds to thrive, but as long as sites dedicated to informing the public and providing some sort of education to those who seek it there is a little bit of hope that society won't completely lose their mind.
