Response to "Attached to Technology.."

In the article, "Attached to Technology and Paying a Price" written by Matt Richtel, Richtel tells the story of Kord Campbell and his family, who are all addicted to technology. While the case of the Campbell's is very severe (missing meetings, burning cookies, spending hours ignoring the family, all while playing with their gadgets) its still an issue that many of us experience on a daily basis with the amount of gadgets and technology we use. The most interesting part of the article is the debunking of the notion that our brains stop developing at a certain point, and having a lot of research actually suggest that our brain rewires itself. Our brains now are rewiring to deal with the large amount of information we see and how was multitask around the information. One of the other interesting things in the article is about the lower-brain functions that once alerted us of danger around us (the sensory of danger) like a lion approaching and taking us off a project such as building something is the same brain function that makes us stop working on a research paper to answer the 'ding' or message of an email coming in. I am very big proponent of technology and the information that is now very accessible and the ease of communication that is available. But you still have to know when to unplug and interact with human beings and not let you life be consumed by technology.
