Blog #2: My Interpretation from essays (1102)

“What’s the Matter with Kids Today?” is about a woman who is trying to convince people that the internet for teenagers is not a bad thing. The internet can help them learn more and become more knowledgeable. She also said that the internet had been introduced into previous generations, it didn’t just become a recent problem. She supports the internet in an active part in a teenagers life. “Can You Hear Me Now?” is about a woman’s opinion on how everyone’s life is being taken over by technology. She says that the technology takes away attention to whoever is talking to that person.


The most important quote in “What’s the Matter with Kids Today?” Is “Once we stop regarding the Internet as a villain, stop presenting it as the enemy of history and literature and worldly knowledge, then our teenagers have the potential to become then next great voices of America. The most important quote in “Can You Hear Me Now?” is “There is much talk of new efficiencies; we can work from anywhere and all the time.” I think this is important because this statement is true. Some people need to work all the time, or feel the need to work all the time.

The essay I agree with most is “What’s the Matter with Kids Today?” It explains how the internet it good and how it can help teenagers. It gives people a better perspective to people who don’t use the internet as much as other people. Teenagers use it more for classes and school work. School now, most of the time you need internet access to finish homework.
