short reflection about the Digital Nation video

     This video gave me a lot of impression about using internet. At first, this video focuses on the current technology movement in variety fields. For example, this focuses on some MIT students who can multitask simultaneously while they are taking thier class. In addition, they illustrates some children who always play internet games and some workers who have positive attitude about advancing internet technology. Finally, this illustrates some facts which a lot of young american people like to play virtual war games.
     In my opinion, first of all I am so surprised seeing such a phenomenon. I have not imagined internet technology has rapidly advanced. Certainly, we can see such a phenomenon in everywhere such as school and company. We might say that students in the present world are boring to go to school because they cannot use computer. Also, all workers in our society are needed to use computer. We cannot predict what our future would be.
    However, I cannot agree with the every positive notion on the technological advancement. As the video already illustrated, some children eventually couldnt go to school because they play computer games all day long while other children show great interest on using computer at school. As it were, computer might be double edge sword. Surely, most of children who is called degital natives are needed to use computer for the purpose of catching up with next era. However, if children use it extremely, they would lack of communication and might be devoid of humor. Therefore, I think all teachers who are supposed to teach about computer have to  have sensible and careful notions about it.
   Also, I think that adults who are called degital immigrants have to be careful about each computer games. This video shows some games which affects young people. For example, online games and war games directly affect young people's mind. In playing these games, they would not have enought time to talk with other person face to face. In addition, it seems that war games apparently help teenager to experince the exicetment of fighting in virtuall world. I can say that some might decide to join to US army in the future. These games does not help children in every aspect. They were just invented to get money from buyers. That is why I think that it is adult's responsibility to protect children from such a negative machine.
   Finally, I think that we have to learn how to use internet and choose useful tools wisely in the present world. Game companies will not compensate bad results like which children receive negative effect from thier games. I can say that we have to comtenplate about the computer's role for us more and more.
