Richtel Article Response

After reading this article I have gained new knowledge about how technology, and the constant stream of information that people deal with day-to-day, is affecting people and how they think. For the most part I agree with this article, I have seen a drastic change in some people in my life primarily caused by technology. However,  I feel that the article presents this fact in a much more serious and grave sense then it should be. I categorize myself as one of the "multi-taskers" described in the article and yet I don't find myself unable to tune out distractions. I also know a great deal of people who are able to control their impulses to check all of their incoming information. Overall, I feel that the article had a good focus and a lot of accurate points but at this current juncture in time the issues presented have not become entirely pressing in my opinion. I also think that multi-tasking has just as many benefits for certain people as it does have its drawbacks
