Several recent Times articles have looked at different effects of heavy use of technology. The side effects that your digital life is having an impact of some people real life. Such as affecting multitasking, memory and fostering the appearance or reality of technology addiction. Some people feel left out or jealous of there friends, from activities when they look at Facebook.
I personally don't because I can go out, but kids who have parents that like them in the house may tend to get jealous. Or feel like they need to go out,or try and fit in. When it should be about being yourself, not fitting in. At times I do have trouble remembering material when I'm interrupted from studying by checking in online, on my twitter and facebook notifications.
My mother sometimes wonder about why I stay online for long, but its just me interacting with my friends. I'm not doing any thing inappropriate, I know the side affects of the usage of computer. But I believe I do positive things, I'm not a jealous person. If I have to study, I'll stay off facebook, some kids are addicted to being on the computer so its hard for them to focus.
