Technology blog #3

This article so far talks about how teens are losing sleep by using electronic devices and staying up way late using face book and talking to friends. And then it talked about what the percentage rate was of the teens staying up late to text and talk to friends, and also the percentage of sleep they are losing by doing this. In the next few paragraphs it talks about teens not only losing sleep but also affecting their health. The scientists in this article are just trying to explain the cause and the effect this has a teenagers and how this can effect their lives. Unlimited texting is what makes the teens think that they should stay up all night texting their friends or girl/boy friends, and lose sleep. So scientist are saying that parents are to help or take away the teens phone or electronic device to help them gain more sleep.

I think that the scientists and the article maker have done a good job of finding their facts and putting them in order. I also think that they have done a good job of finding the percentage rates of teens using cell phones and staying up all night. I agree that teens are losing sleep by doing this and should just turn off their phones and get sleep. I'm a person that likes to sleep, so i don't have a problem of doing this but i think its sad that teens out their would waste their time texting someone all night. In my mind I wonder why my parents don't give me a phone, is it the money or staying up texting all night and all day. I'm pretty sure its both, but the important one is getting sleep and not texting all day when you could be doing something healthy. And if taking away cell phones work then do it.
