In the book, the writer wrote about what the technology changed on our life and study, there are both positive and negative opinions in the article about the new media's influence. There are several paragraph mentioned me the internet blocked the face-to-face social connection between people. At home his wife have to start their work after she finished all the online work. The writer himself is also afraid of the plenty of e-mail everyday.
I agree on the writer's opinion, the new media made our life better, but it also separate people by individuals. Our face-to-face connections are decreasing. The attention we put on our real life is much more less, we want to finish the online business before to start a new day, and the social net work is transfer from off line to online. We should practice our attention control, make sure that when we are searching online, we should task of finding the information you need at the moment you need it, learning what we need at the moment we need it, learning what we need to learn and forgetting what we don't need, and most important, learning how to filter out the bad info. (Page15)So that we can save more time on the computer and turn our face to our real life at the moment.
