About me and English prompt

Hi everyone!
My name's Annie. I'm a sophomore at IUP. I'm a violin performance major. I've been playing the violin since I was 8. I love it!! My goal in life is to become a professional violinist and play with a symphony orchestra. I love music more than anything in the world haha. I made this blog for my English class because we needed to start a blog about certain things we read.

This is my response to the article about Your Brain on Computers. I'm kind of neutral on the situation. I don't really have an opinion because I can see both sides of the argument. It's obvious that technology does a lot of things to our brains. It can help and damage us. But I don't think that everyone can become as addicted to technology as Mr. Campbell. There are probably a lot of people out there who can become addicted to it like how there are other people out there who have all kinds of addictions like alcohol, drugs, whatever. But that doesn't mean everyone will turn out like this guy where they have to constantly check their email. I think I use my computer a lot, but usually all I do is listen to music. I get on Facebook occassionally, but it's not something that I have to do or I'll be in a bad mood until I do it. I just think it all depends on the person.

One thing I didn't really understand was the whole discussion about multi tasking. Sometimes for the violin you have to do things one step at a time like playing double stops and placing your fingers at the right intervals. I struggled with that a lot because I would try to place both my fingers at the same time. But my violin teacher told me that it's actually impossible for the brain to multi task. You have to make steps in your head of what you want to do first. And for me I had to place one finger down first and then the next after. So what I didn't get was why are professional people talking about multi tasking if you actually can't to it?

I liked the article but I think they were just a little preachy kind of. I think it all just depends on who you are to get addicted to technology and have it affect you. I honestly don't think that it has made me become distracted or anything to the point where I forget things like the family in the article. This stuff doesn't happen to everyone. Also on a side note there was something that irritated me about this article. I really hate when I see little kids using cell phones/ipods or anything. I think little kids should be playing with toys. I don't think kids should be getting on Facebook or using a cell phone. They need to be outside playing or playing with their Barbie dolls or whatever. Their brains are still developing and I believe that can cause developmental problems with it. I don't think the Campbell's should have let their daughter in the 2nd grade have a laptop, a portable DVD player, and an ipod. Kids don't need to be wasting their time on that stuff.
