Dylan's Response to Sherry Turkle's Essay, "How Computers Change the Way We Think"

The essay itself was very informative. It started off with a very reasonable point and turned into a far fetched worst-case scenario.Turkle describes how over the years computers have been lessening the social skills of the youth in America. She accurately describes how the youth in America seem to have no issue handing out their own personal information or their parents information online. This could be one reason for the rise in identity theft in the last few years. I also agree with her when she discusses how many teachers nowadays put too much focus on computer programs like powerpoint. She states 90% of the students using this program are more concerned with sounds and slide transfers than the actual content. Overall, it was a really well presented article.
