Digital Mistletoe- I enjoyed reading this article. I thought it was really adorable how a man who was so alone and miserable found happiness using Facebook. it was nice to see that Facebook isn't just a tool to talk to people or read gossip, but to meet true love. I think he was lucky to have found that special person. Also, I think he was brave to actually make the attempt to talk to her.

In Defense Of Distraction- I think this writer has a point in trying to defend the advances in technology. It is true that jobs require the use of the Internet. We are so use to having the technology in our hand, I don't think we could live without it. I also agree with the fact on how we do rely to much on technology. I mean anytime we need to look something up, we don't use a book, we use the computer. It is like our lifesaver. Technology is advancing, we really can not put a stop to that, but I think we can help ourselves by not focusing on the computer so much. I think the write also poses a good question at the end of the article. I don't really know if we have adapted to technology at the same rate. I think we are behind, while technology itself is ahead.

Cellphones, Texts, and Lovers- I find this article to be weird. I don't think it is completely true. I find it disgusting on the part that people are using technology to hook-up with five different people during the same time. I think texting wasn't made for cheating, but to have conversation with more then one person at the same time. I do agree with the author on the fact that texting has gotten in the way of socialization. I don't think it is just cell phones, but technology in general.
