Don Tapscott, author of Grown Up Digital, shows “The Dark Side” of growing up in a world that is obsessed with technology. He presents arguments from a variety of sources that believe my generation is heading in the opposite direction of success. A main concern is that we continue to waste time on the internet instead of engaging in outdoor activities. As a result of being addicted to the internet and video games, we have become a fat generation that lacks social skills. Tapscott also agrees with a comparison made about the addiction to video games and alcohol abuse.
Although a portion of my generation continues to be affected by new technology, I refuse view this generation as a whole with such strong negativity. Yes, almost everyone uses the internet daily, however, I do not believe that effects one's ability to carry on a conversation and involve themselves in other healthy activities. I go to the gym almost every day and it is always packed with students running, playing basketball, and lifting weights.

Even though Tapscott agrees with the strong addiction to video games, I was suprised that he uses a "phony" source. I think this shows that he doesn't really care and is making a joke about how pathetic our generation is to be fooled into thinking this site is real.
