  • Essay / Critical Reaction in the Movie Digital Nation - 1140

    Critical Reaction In the movie Digital Nation I felt confused and thought it was unrealistic because I didn't really think about technology to even believe that we could die from it . I thought it was unrealistic because a lot of people are addicted to the Internet and as Americans we don't know how to stop that. The target audience is mainly parents, as they care more about their children and their performance. If you talk to a child or teenager about how the Internet affects you, they will not believe you or simply ignore you. I feel like the other audience is teenagers or young adults, because parents sometimes use the Internet as much as kids. In the film Digital Nations, the presenter says: “But today it's not just about our children. We are all constantly immersed in technology” (Digital). Digital technology examines how the world is not as in tune with society as with its phones, computers, games, and even televisions. The goal of the film is to try to put society back on its feet by showing what is happening to everyone and helping them slow down. Some people will listen, others will just ignore it. Honestly, I kind of ignore it because we live in a society where the internet is all around us and eventually we will be overwhelmed by new technology, but we will learn how to use it and keep moving forward. I'm going to slow down my internet use, but that won't stop me when it's raining or when it's really cold outside. I feel like the harmful effects of technology are your eyes and ears. The main thing that hurts technology is that when you look at a computer screen, a book, a television or even when you are driving they are in the middle of a paper......showing to how intelligent we actually are to other people. If people took the time to research almost everything and write letters and emails, English would be better than it is today and social studies would be easier, especially if you read newspapers and articles to discover something new about the world. In conclusion, try to be more active and limit yourself to video games, laptops, phones and even TV. You might even get more rest than most people if you started now and tried to change the world. It’s our generation that needs to make a change, so stand up, speak your mind and speak out. Works Cited “Headaches Due to Eye Strain – MedicineNet.” MedicineNet. NP, 1996. Web.
