In a recent speech at the University of Hampton, President Obama said that in a 24/7 media environment with an ipad, ipod, xbox and playstation, "information will distract and distract, A form of entertainment, not an empowering tool. . .
It puts pressure on students, the country and democracy, he said.
We know from previous posts that many of you send text messages, play video games, know what's on TV, what's on news and movies.
Before you, your knowledge of the media is unprecedented.
So we would like to hear if you agree with the president that all of these technologies will distract you or if you think they will help you.
AnchorI thinks video games are distracting, so I agree with the president.
I don't think the ipod is distracting because the ipod is useful for listening to music and playing games on the go.
I think President Obama is wrong because most people are music workers! -__-
I think technology is good for kids who want to have free time, but bad for kids who play video games all day and on computers.
I agree, when it's time to stop and do your work, they distract, but they help us when we're under a lot of pressure and need a break.
I think the president is right in some ways.
Video games are fun, but kids prefer to play video games to learn.
This puts pressure on students and most video games are becoming more and more violent.
If game companies reduce violence, children will have a better life.
It is very disturbing that the president of the United States would warn American citizens that these electronic products may be assets or disruptions, depending on who is using them and how they are used.
There are several tools on these machines that are either not working well.
Even though I 've seen these tools seem more of an interference to their users and the children around them.
I think it could be a distraction.
Here's the question, "Would you rather play video games, listen to music, or do your homework? " You decide.
I think children prefer to play video games and listen to music.
I think the media can be both distracting and helpful.
It lets us know what's going on in the world around us in the blink of an eye, but on the other hand, it also distracts the attention of children not working at home and playing video games, listening to music rather than focusing on learning.
I'm sure some technology will distract you.
I have an ipod that will distract me.
I don't have any video games except computers.
Video game production time is very long.
If you lose once, you want to beat it.
When you should do your homework, you are hooked on it.
I'm really glad I only have one ipod and share 3 PCs with my family.
I have to say two.
On the computer, you do nothing but mesage, myspace, tweeter, etc.
It can also help you find information about your homework.
So I will stick to both.
As I learned in class, technology can help you.
I mean, you can watch CNN and listen to podcasts with your Ipod or Itouch.
You can play more academic games on consoles and handheld devices.
It does become distracting when you neglect your studies and switch to electronic devices.
It depends on how you use your electronics.
I don't agree because many times these devices can help us keep track of things and don't forget them because they produce good results.
Some techniques can distract you, especially when you should learn.
I was distracted by computers, TV and music.
I believe that the stress that video games and others can live from everyday school is a healthy distraction.
After school, it feels good to go home and get some tactical nuclear weapons on Xbox with some of my friends.
What is this information and distraction, if it is a learning game like brain games, it doesn't matter if it is COD (Call Of Duty)
This is a distraction to some extent.
It depends on how you learn.
If you learn better while listening to the course or watching the course on Youtube, then the technology is helpful.
To a large extent, as I have noticed in my friends and myself, the technology attracts people's attention and shifts it from learning and other important things
I must agree with President Obama in this regard.
No, I don't agree at all. Thank you, we can make otI think they will be deported at times.
Especially if you play COH)
But I think it's a good way to waste time on road trips, running, etc.
I don't agree with Obama that most media help you to learn, just like the leap pad of the little kids they help you to learn.
I think it's information.
If there is no computer, pairpod, iphone, how will we do the research.
Or make sure everything is OK in the family.
I believe technology can be used for a great purpose.
This is the way we use it if we use if to handle important things.
The media we use every day helps students in their daily lives.
But if you abuse it, it's your own fault, not the media's!
These programs are of educational significance.
For example, you can get a CNN Student News podcast to keep you up to date with the latest events.
You can also purchase apps that enhance creativity and help in your daily life.
However, these items may be distracting if not used with self-training.
I think these devices are information that can help us in the future.
Sometimes they can distract us, but they are still useful.
The IPhone is a great learning tool. What? ! ?
It's not a secret!
Technology helps us learn.
Some games are educational.
Apple products are convenient in many ways.
I don't think they will be distracted. . . . .
I think there are two aspects to this story.
The kids want to play with a lot of things, but they know it will only distract them.
Though, it can also provide a little bit of information if it is educational or helpful in your daily life.
While some things are real interference like your DS or PSP, I don't think technology is a kind of interference right now because we use it as a source for many things.
Even if all forms of technology disappear from us, it will distract us because we are used to everything we have.
I kind of agree with Obama.
Some of the technical information will distract you from the real world, but at the same time you can learn a lot from it.
I see both sides of the idea, but I know it's a distracting behavior that needs control, but at the same time, it shouldn't be a national priority that is often abused by young Americans in the United States, but what should we do without it?
It reminds me of it.
Known as the "screen administrator", you can't live without watching or even touching various screens now.
Ironically, I am still typing in front of the screen to think about whether the impact of the media is distracting.
From a popular magazine I bought yesterday, an article pointed out that young people now read less and less paper.
Because their daily life permeates all kinds of high
For just a few examples, tech products include mobile phones, TVs, PCs, laptops, MP3, MP4, PSP and digital cameras.
Not just radiation or bad. to-
I think the president's comments are correct to some extent.
But maybe he's gone too far.
I just don't understand why the media environment affects democracy.
If so, the Democratic Party will disappear in the near future, because our generation does not know what democracy is referring to and cannot be nominated as a Democrat.
In addition, there may be no American who will pursue democracy in the future?
Don't you think this is ridiculous?
But I agree with the president that these media
Natural tools have begun to rot as Caterpillar did in Apple's core.
The media is a mature person and our children should run and jump in the sun.
A lot of information, most of them are not directly screened or screened, crush us into boring recipients who like to share it online, or through text, or whatever, not through face-to-faceto-
Face challenges.
When some of us have to look into someone else's eyes, they become uncomfortable and feel at ease only when the screen is in front of them.
We should not avoid all media (
I think it is impossible. )
And limitation and self
Put consciousness into action.
Living with the media is totally unwise to exhaust our energy during the day.
Young digital puppets should pull them out of the media infection and then walk outdoors to raise the standard of our lives.
The recent financial crisis in Greece has plunged us into a shocking mess. what about the collapse of the media? ?
I don't think it's interesting. . .
Almost everything is accessible and it is almost impossible to focus on the benefits of technology.
People take it for granted and use it wisely.
Wrong or biased formation can be distracting, but if there is only the cold facts, then it can be an incredibly authorized tool.
After all, knowledge is power.
I think freedom before
Teenagers help their education because the good grades they get at school are almost rewarded.
It depends on what the child is searching.
If they happen to be looking for iTunes on their computers and searching for music like Lady Gaga, of course, that information can be distracting.
Still, I have a Playstation 3 that can search for news and weather forecasts, all of which are educational.
It's more distracting.
You play, become addicted, and then you go home and play video games all day.
Where did the homework come from? Ithink the i-pod or i-
I don't believe video games will give us information.
There are some applications on I-
Very useful pod in school.
I will keep it short and simple.
Obama wants to control information, and we 've seen historically that it's easier to control uneducated people.
I won't bother you with the evidence, because if you don't know what I'm talking about, I won't be able to convince you.
I think there is a reasonable time for all the technology.
Personally, I think that since there is already evidence that the phone is a major interference, technical communication devices may become an unnecessary interference.
I also believe that, in addition to teacher lectures, the use of information technology in classrooms and communication equipment can exchange information between classrooms around the world.
While Internet access restrictions seem to solve distractions, there will always be students who take advantage of the advantages that are given to them, all you can do is punish them and want them to understand what they really miss.
I think the technology helped us, like I used my laptop to check my online grades or learn for my tests.
They can be distracting, but they can only be distracted if they end up using facebook or games.
I agree with Obama because I had an ipod when I didn't have an ipod touch, but now some of my classes have failed.
I believe this.
Obama said that all technology is distracting us, and if it weren't for technology, we wouldn't have mastered facts and news every day like cnn Student News, as long as our younger generation succeeded, in daily life
It's entertainment for some people, and it's not entertainment for others.
It depends on your attitude.
To be honest, I think we need to use all of our stuff if we don't have it!
In my opinion, electronic products distract us-children-from our daily lives and disengage us from reality.
I have an iPod that I can't do anything when I use it and should be made with a self-destructing button.
I think playing video games and computers will distract us because it will make us lazy.
I agree that technologies like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace are entertainment, not authorization tools, but at the same time, the hype today is social networking.
These tools may not be capable in the sense of generating new knowledge, but they do a good job of getting information quickly.
However, I think these services will disappear in the near future-more open and less invasive technologies are coming soon-and hopefully we will be able to re-generate new knowledge and spread it.
"In the 24/7 media environment, you are about to mature and bombard us with all kinds of content, leaving us faced with all kinds of arguments, some of which are not always ranked as high on the truth table.
With the ipod, ipad, xbox, and playstation-I don't know how to work-information becomes a form of distraction, distraction, entertainment, not an authorization tool, not the means of liberation.
I don't know what he means?
Is there any bias in the news my Playstation gave me?
Didn't my XBox tell me all the facts?
What exactly does he think is the source of these media?
If the only message you get is from your XBox, you will be told;
But if you only get your message from an electric toothbrush, the same is true.
I don't think I would think that my Playstation has given me any news or arguments, which is wrong and even more unreasonable madness. . .
Not to mention the news that is not ranked high on the "truth meter.
I tend to agree with the president because of all the latest technologies like ipad, ipod, etc.
Has become what we all want, and they do distract us in a way.
Don't get me wrong, but you can learn something from this technology that will continue in our future and become something we will eventually know how to use.
This is just a question of using this technology for the right purpose.
I think President Obama is right, because now people are more using technology as a distraction than a source of information.
As a high school teacher, I can say that President Obama is exactly right.
As an interactive game with rewards, the ongoing need for a quick "sound bite" of information distracts content.
As many students avoid anything that needs to be thought deeply at all costs, we are beginning to see a decline in overall performance.
Instead of seeking understanding, these students simply get answers in any way, so trying to cheat is fundamental --time high.
We can thank the popular trend of website outsourcing learning like "Cha.
Any form of clear communication is in a state of stagnation and requires constant "tweeting" of unnecessary details in life.
This chain of useless messages is like spam, but you are often dazzled by your own friends and family during live conversations, rather than by some criminals trying to deceive you into TMI.
Teenagers waste countless hours of writing every day.
It takes a few seconds to talk verbally.
Of course, these same teenagers complain that when they sit at home and play 15 different video games, TV, phone, text, music, computers, facebook/myspace, they don't have the time/tweet machine
Open a real book?
Are you kidding?
One of the most ridiculous things I 've ever seen is the teenagers standing around the ata dance text --
Dance the same dance as everyone else
When does quality start to exceed quantity?
When is enough?
"It's hard to remember that a smarter President of the United States is going to be.
If the skin of this person is thinner, it will be transparent. " Thin skin? Sure Obama. . . .
Distracting you and your agenda
The more we dig, the more we find, the more we share, the more we know. .
You don't look good at all.
You can't control free spam. . .
Compared to his complaints that people have too much information, the iPod is simply dwarfed.
It's also strange because his entire campaign is mainly based on the use of social media, etc.
In order to communicate, the government's job is not to tell us what we can see, what we can't see, and what we can't read.
If your employer does not want you to surf or comment, then they are fully entitled to fire you (
Unless you're in the Union).
I know I don't need the government to tell me what website I should read or what comments I should make or even what information the government tells me, good, bad or whatever, I should be allowed access.
In the environment of communication, people are always attracted by truth.
We are not Venezuela, Iran, North Korea or China. they ban Internet communication and control the main media.
Here they only control the media-the internet is still free, where we can check global warming fraud and the collapse of European socialism --
This is not properly covered by male gay, missing lies.
Compared to his complaints that people have too much information, the iPod is dwarfed.
It's also strange because his entire campaign is mainly based on the use of social media, etc.
The government-controlled media also came here. Chavez style.
I don't know why he keeps making a fool of himself.
The activity time is here again.
When Bush was president, these liberals were very free to speak.
What they are worried about is that ofI feels that there are a lot of these technical devices that are balanced on the fence of pro and con. . .
In today's society, technology makes us lazy. . .
I mean, these items have good uses, but not everyone uses them for health. . .
Haha, I believe Obama is right in the battle, many entrepreneurs are looking for ways to attract the public, and I would say it is a "distraction" because there are too many people that can sometimes become overwhelming. . . now-a-
You have a 12 year old kid texting at the table or refusing to do school work because he has to play his COD or any game. . . .
It's just something that inevitably unfolds, and with the arrival of a new generation, it's definitely a task that needs to be overcome, and don't let technology distract them from what's really happening around them. . .
Some of the greatest technologies human beings know are the senses we have, and we begin to lose that basic --ness. . .
Just to focus on why governments should be able to determine our ability to access information?
Even if the information is stupid, it should be accessible.
I think it's up to us because it's important how we use it.
Even if they have a lot of negativity, we can't live without these technologies today, can we?
They are part of our lives.
In most cases, I think it's a distraction.
I spent 12 hours on Facebook today.
It's usually not a day, but for some reason I can't raise my head from my Mac today.
Yes, I use it at school, my wife goes to school online, but my kids spend more time with their faces on iPod, PC, mobile and TV.
I had to force them to play outside, force them to ride a bike with me, and force them to sit at the table for dinner.
I am changing my home and I refuse to bring my family to the world before they actually become teenagers, which is too late.
I sat in the restaurant and watched other parents have their children look after their children next to DS and ipod as well as portable dvd players.
I'm not going to make this my family life.
I don't think it's Xbox, PlayStation, etc.
It's a distraction.
It's just a form of entertainment that can also connect you to the world.
Some things are really distracting, like texting and playing video games.
It depends on which one you are playing. Well. . .
Anything can be distracting.
I think it depends on how we use technology and how much we value what we get.
It is always helpful to have more information.
Whether it's good or bad.
It helps us to judge better.
Not many people use computers as a source of information, many just use computers on Facebook or other social networking sites.
Not everyone is on these sites, many people just want to know what's going on in the world, so they watch the news.
Anyway, what President Obama has to do is take these designs from every child in the United States.
We really can't do anything about it other than not having so much on the computer.
I agree with the president and I disagree with him because you may be distracted by these things.
You can also learn from it, because if the ipad has fi, in addition to all the games that distract you, you can also check the internet to see what is happening in the world. I admit it.
I like computers, computer games and mobile phones, but I have to agree with President Obama.
I think it's distracting.
If you carry a computer with you while studying, you may be overwhelmed by ideas about good things about the computer, such as playing games on the computer.
Or I need to chat with my friends.
Something like this.
So in the end, you may lose the battle, stop your work and start searching the web.
As for video games, they are also terrible.
So pretend you have a new game.
You think I want to play, I want to play, I want to play over and over, your mom orders you to do your homework, or you have work to do, you know, you can't play games until you finish your work.
You still want to play your game, right?
So even if you're doing your job, your heart is in the game.
So you can't do your job right?
Anyway, this is my point.
I think "electronics" is usually a distraction.
Yes, you can get information on your computer, and of course, some games can provide you with facts.
But most people spend too much time on it.
So use your time wisely.
If you still can't do it, repeat it over and over again in your mind.
What I'm doing is distracting, and what I'm doing is distracting.
Of course, video games can go too far and become an unnecessary distraction, but they often also become a healthy distraction.
Going home from school's hectic daily routine and jumping on my Xbox with some friends took a little bit of stress off. It is said to be true because those who have never been introduced to the screen will be able to do their homework better, and now the children bring their ipod and iphone to school, listen to them secretly while the teacher is talking so they can fail in the exam just to hear musicI think they are from it.
It reminds me of it.

I don't think it's interesting. . .
I don't think it's a rejection because we need our ipodes, mp3 players, xbox, playstaion, so we'll have something to do when we're bored at home
Pres obomba is just for everyone to believe in him, it's not true and it's not for him.
It all depends on what kind of media you are in.
Video games are undoubtedly a kind of interference to students' education. iPods and MP3s. . . it depends.
You can use it to drown out the noise in the classroom, or you can ignore the teacher's class.
It depends on the student's intention.
As for computers, that's why most schools have a filter in their Internet programs so that students can complete the task, not on online sites like Facebook, Myspace, Gaia, etc. . .
Of course, it can also be distracting.
However, these entertainment tools are not only for entertainment, but also a large number of useful applications, such as job applications and ext.
These things will help a new generation get new jobs when there are vacancies.
This can be a distraction, but we need this technology to survive in today's society.
There are building blocks on our school's computer.
If you don't want us to see this, make the block stronger.
In addition, a study shows that people who play video games are better surgeons.
As a teacher, the technology can distract from students texting to their ipod in my classroom.
However, I am trying to incorporate these techniques into my classroom to show my students how powerful the items they use are.
We believe that technology will not distract us, but help us learn.
Many video games help us understand the United States. S. wars.
Whiteboards and voters help us learn in the classroom.
The programs we watch on the History Channel or Discovery Channel also help us to learn.
When you want to talk to your friends and ask for help with homework, some electronics are good and they can relax me when I have a bad day.
There are two aspects. one is to provide information by listening to education.
The other is that by listening to something that is not educational, it can be distracting.
My first blog looks at the situation, if it's a game like brain game shooting, A detreatshion created with killing and shooting not only for you but for your family the game just teaches you bad things!
I don't think ipod and ipads are a kind of destruction because music helps your brain to function and I am the learning Hall that allows us to use ipod and other things!
I don't know if this is elps, but I seem to do better when I read and listen to music.
This may be because when you do your homework or something, when you listen to music, it will distract you if it's loud, but if it's not too loud, you can do your homework. it's not so boring.
So I think it could be two of them.
This may be because when you do your homework or something, when you listen to music, it will distract you if it's loud, but if it's not too loud, you can do your homework. it's not so boring.
So I think it could be two of them.
I said they were messages. for us to use.
We use them every day. I get info.
On a phone I didn't know before.
We don't agree with Obama because technology helps us do homework outside of school.
We had a good time at home.
It all depends on what you are playing, for example, the age of the brain is a good information game for everyone.
Halo, Call, and other games like the brain wash the brain, so it's a huge distraction for some, it can be used as a distraction, and others can be used as a distraction. It all depends.
If you are at school and if you are at home, you will most likely use it to improve your education, then yes, it may be used to kill time faster.
I don't think the president should worry as much about what the children do outside school as they do at school.
If the children are properly supervised at school, then they don't have to worry about what they do on their computer or ipod. NOOOOOO! ! ! ! ! ! !
We need technology because it gives us happiness! ! ! !
I think tecnoligy is good because it helps the kids get the school done and also takes the kids education away so I think this way has been overused, but if they have extra time when they do it, but only one or two hours a day, the computer is fun, but we can only find them at school for research, or project.
Xbox is fun, but I think kids should just play for an hour and play other ps3 or ps2 and other games instead of staying in the room all day.
It is important how you use it.
Too much of anything can be bad.
I have been playing video games all the time and I love them! ! ! But. . . . .
They did it, I admit. a couple]bad grades.
It depends on what kind of game you play because some are good learning games and some are bad learning games.
Prez what they do is just make your brain rot, not make you think they're not distracting.
Computers and TV can help us to go to school.
Google and news can help us get information.
I think video games, ipod and iphone will distract you.
However, I believe you can learn from them as well.
They make video games for young children and help them learn ABC and count.
I cannot describe the use and quantity of my laptop.
In moderation, they may be helpful, and it becomes a distraction when they just want to play video games or play on facebook.
Although I do not agree with President Obama, I appreciate his views.
I believe that it is difficult for students to learn without the power of technology, although some students may not use technology for this purpose.
If so, then they should block these websites that are not for learning purposes.
I have to disagree with President Obama. I think I-
Mats, computers and games are not a discussion for children in the world.
President Obama, I don't agree with you.
I want to discuss it with President Obama.
I have been from X-Box 360!
I think the media can distract you, but it can also give you information.
Sites like Facebook can be distracting because they are a bit addictive but don't help you or provide you with information or knowledge.
Other technologies can give you information.
Our textbooks for math and social studies are online, so they can help you learn and do your homework.
It really depends on the purpose of your use of media and technology and how you learn.
I think it is because it causes the children to forget to do the housework and study the exam.
It also distracted the children.
The game can be fun but distracting.
I think it's distracting.
This is because it is distracting from the children's school work.
The time they play the game should be the time they should work there.
I know those kids are in danger of losing because they are busy playing xbox there all day.
Also, instead of going out in the fresh air, they stay in the dark.
I have to say, I agree with the chair that this will not distract you because you can look up the information from the ipod or the I pad and you can look up the information on the x box, then I don't agree with Pres and I don't know how to make it better.
Obama, because you can play Xbox or Playstation and then learn, but that doesn't mean you can play 45 minutes on Xbox, it doesn't mean you can't learn.
Moreover, computers do not mean there is no educational research on the Internet.
Maybe you can learn on Facebook or in another way.
I don't think it's a good idea because ipads can teach you anything.
You can do whatever you want on your computer and the computer will teach you something.
It's also not a distraction as you can easily turn it off, but something like xbox can take a while, so it could be a showcase.
Also, I wouldn't even play video games like this.
I think they may be distracted, but they will not be distracted at the same time.
Children are distracted when they should not be distracted.
But they may be distracted when you want to distract your child.
Children may be distracted when they need to do school work and they don't want to do it.
They want to play the game.
But parents will be happy when you want to distract your child and not annoy their parents.
So there are two ways to play all of these games.
Some games are good, others are not.
I don't agree with America's pride.
I think technology is very educational and helpful.
For example, in theI-
The app is available for almost everything with Pod touch.
This is my opinion on this issue.
I must agree with the president.
Ipad and ipod may be useful in many ways, but it can cause too much distraction in school work.
The children are always in the room now.
They told the parents there that they had no hardware and just went upstairs and played games in the dark.
I agree with Obama because I already have an ipod when I don't have a game, and many of my classmates disagree with Obama.
I think the ipod is more of a help because some students use music to be more focused, but I do think it causes some disruption. I believe my pods can provide you with very helpful apps that will help you to learn or work some games that can help you to learn at school like trivia games. I think they can distract you.
When they should pay attention to other things, they distract the child.
The children are distracted and sometimes in trouble.
Sometimes, when they use these things, it's the only thing they pay attention to and forget about something important.
I think these games cause distractions in school work and make more people lazy!
It must be a good game for them.
If it is helpful for school-related things.
It can help them to learn, so it can help them.
But some games shouldn't be helpful, it would be bad and wouldn't help them in a way, I agree with that too, but I don't, because the media will release what teenagers/students want anyway;
So it does affect their learning because you have them listening to music in class & not listening to the teacher.
I think it's a distraction because people are always texting during class, which distracts the attention of people next to or behind them, and people are always driving, calling and texting or talking it can sometimes cause damage, it is dangerous to do so. I think President Obama is right because now people are using technology more as a distraction than as a source of information.
It makes more people lazy, sitting there all day playing games instead of doing your hwI, which will agree with and disagree with President Obama.
I agree with President Obama because students will achieve bad results in education.
Students will also be less educated, which means you may be held back or you cannot be admitted to the university you want to go.
There's always a chance to get all these interesting technologies.
There will be a future of success and entertainment.
That's why I agree with President Obama. pads, I-
Students are distracted by Pods and other techniques.
I think these devices are very useful when using the right way.
However, they can be dangerous if used improperly, such as texting and driving.
I agree that games and other electronic devices can be distracting.
But what do you expect when there are not many educational games, songs, etc.
This has attracted our attention to the games and electronics we have.
So we play games that we find interesting and get caught up in what we want to do.
I support President Obama a lot.
In fact, we face so much information these days that we hardly have enough time to think and create.
So I didn't bring any equipment that was able to access the Internet in order to learn in a "clean" environment far from heavy news and reporting. And it works.
After I made this decision, my study improved a lot.
So I agree with President Obama.
I think Obama is wrong. The new technology gives us almost unlimited sources of information, which can greatly promote our education.
I think it gives us information.
As you continue to do these things, you learn new things by seeing what these things look like.
Information = ipod, ipad, mobile phone. I think Pres.
Obama is right because people use technology just for fun.
They don't use it for information at all.
It also makes us lazy. My teacher Mr.
Templeton agreed they were useful, but never let us use them in class, and he said they distracted us from what he was trying to teach us.
I think both aspects are OK.
On the one hand, it does teach you something, but at the same time it also distracts you by having something you don't need.
So I think President Obama is right and wrong to say that.
Not everyone is distracted by technology, I don't even have a computer at home.
But some people overuse it because it is available.
Whether this is a distraction depends on the type of game you are playing.
Some games are distracting and some are informative.
I don't agree with the ipod, which distracts me.
It's just a distraction if you let it go, and I think they're a good source of information. I think it's kind of invisible, not distracted from the game as others think, but don't like games like Resident Evil 4 full of blood and internal organs.
I don't think it's a distraction because you learn a lot from the game when you play it.
It depends on people.
Some people use technology and others abuse it.
Some students will sit there and use it for homework or something important, while others will abuse it and just play games instead of games.
So in a way, I think it's a distraction because a lot of people use it for the wrong reason, and now I'm not going to lie, I use it to play games and play games, but maybe it's time to stop abusing it and use it only for the right reasons, so I agree with Obama.
Too much information?
Barry, thank you for your suggestion, but I can think for myself and I will decide when I have too much information.
"There are really so many stupid Americans. is it completely comfortable for Obama to say such a thing?
Where is the media when Obama says something that will lead them to condemn Bush?
Seriously, one can only imagine if George W.
Bush said, "the American people get too much information and the government needs to act on it.
It is correct that he will be criticized by the media.
The only person who is afraid of too much information is a liar who is afraid of being exposed.
I think it's a distraction if you play certain games.
I think it's some game that gives you information, but it's up to you.
I don't think it will distract people because people use them at work, like if they have to write a song there for their ipod or ipadsI, posen believes Obama has not seen the importance of the new technology.
We 've got a lot of information through these new devices-I'm glad you didn't teach kids in my school district.
One of the reasons why we have so many stupid Americans now is that teachers instill ideas into children, not teach them to reason.
A lot of information is never a bad thing unless people can't reason for themselves.
I think it's two-way because we don't need technology, but in general people use it when they work or contact friends and family.
I don't think the ipod and the phone are distracting because people plug the ipod into the car radio and people use the iphone at work to find certain add-ons.
The Iphone is used to pick up her radio, computer and communication equipment.
I think the technology is good because business people have to look for supplements on the I phone and make import calls to other states. I think it's a distraction because they let us in school have an ipod and most people don't do much work.
I think the president's comments on the media environment are inappropriate.
The media is just a platform. the media serves the masses.
It just shows the taste that citizens like and I think the solution to this problem is to strengthen supervision and the review body should take responsibility.
Ps: I'm not a citizen of ame and I think it's distracting me because people have ipod in their study and they never do anything.
They have been playing games all the time.
I agree, but only half.
Video games/social networks are becoming addicted.
But they can help treat video games, computers, etc.
It can be informative or distracting.
It depends on what you are doing or playing.
But most of the time, electronic devices are distracting, especially in schools.
Children want to use their ipod or mobile phone all the time instead of coming to school to study.
I do think that I have learned from our information overload today, but I do agree with President Obama that it can be a distraction in many cases.
I'm not against technology, but you have to take a step back and thank you for the simple things.
Technology is both an entertainment and a learning tool.
Technology allows us to learn a lot and connect in ways we never thought we could.
However, there are a lot of programs that have become an obsession.
Projects like facebook and myspace are not good for us.
Video games and I-
Pod allows the brain to be liberated from everyday life.
These are not distractions. they help us live.
I think while video games can distract you, music and TV can be very useful.
Video games can keep us away from our homework or from going out.
While TV can do the same thing, it can give us useful information about our future, such as the past of weather, current events, etc.
Music is useful because it gives people culture and people listen to music through human history.
I believe they are helpful when these technologies are used to get information or to study something, but I also know, many new electronic products may be distracted by their use.
I think they are both informative and distracting.
I agree that there are a lot of new media types in our generation, but I also think that some of them are just a good source of entertainment and a way to pass the time.
Some of them have been overused, which may be considered a distraction.
Some people use computers and technology for fun.
Some people use them for learning and information.
Some people use both.
This is what you like.
I think we need to use them because everything in this era is about technology.
If we don't use them, we will fall behind.
I'm sure this technology will definitely distract you.
Nowadays, children and teenagers are obsessed with the Internet, ipod, SMS, video games, etc.
When you don't even realize these things, these things consume hours of your daily life and therefore distract you from things that should be prioritized, such as school or work.
I agree and disagree with what President Obama has said.
I agree with the fact that information may be distracting because I have been going through it all the time.
Yes, I may be distracted by work when I'm on the computer, but in the meantime, when I'm distracted, I'm still learning something new.
New technologies such as Xbox, playstation, ipods, and ipads are very distracting.
When you should study or work from home, it is easy to want to do something interesting or play games, these techniques are mainly for entertainment, but when your day is boring, it also makes it easier for you to pass the time.
Some movies, video games and music can enhance your ability to make you want to go out and do something.
I know some of the songs on my ipod make it easier to run, which makes me better.
Most media is just for entertainment, but imagine life without Entertainment.
There will be fewer things to do for fun and enjoyment.
I think video games will distract me, but for me I don't think I have.
Video games you just sit there and play games, ipod you can do your homework while listening!
If we don't use media information, we won't have CNN Student News. . .
I think the spread of the media has expressed the views and opinions of people around the world, and in addition, video games have improved their hands.
Eye coordination.
Although I kind of agree with Obmama's words of distracting learning and the like. .
Like playing games, it also has more benefits, so we need stress and sometimes enjoy our lives.
So in my opinon play game, if you do this for your own needs and you can control yourself, then the information is the information.
I do agree with him because the kids stay up late at night on computers, mobile phones, ipod and other devices.
But today's technology is amazing and helps us to become more knowledgeable.
These things help us through our lives.
Many people get jobs from them. I think the president is wrong because the ipad, the ipod, the iphone and everything else in the world ended up educating you in some strange way.
This is just my opinion, so don't be coquetry to me, but I may be coquetry to you.
My point is that both notifications and distractions are two-way as some games may have some good information.
But some of the others could be a very big disturbance and we think it's two, ipod x-
Boxs can be distracting and help to understand that technology is a major distraction for us and they will never stop producing more advanced ipod, ipad, xbox, they are now working on more advanced technology.
When is enough?
Pick up a book and play board games, are you serious?
I think it's something that makes me sound lazy.
In my opinion, I also believe that it depends on the game or technology used.
When it comes to games, choose the ones that exercise your brain instead of converting it into a sticky game, which means it won't distract you.
It also depends on the type of TV program you're watching, and if it's educational, it's not distracting.
So I think today's media and technology may fall into these two categories.
I do think many things in people's lives are distracting.
For example, we have been watching TV, or watching TV on the computer, but we also learn from the same interference.
I don't think many people can survive by technology, but they should learn not to always rely on technology.
It is between Yes and No.
Some can improve our lives, like wii fit and pictochatI think it depends on what you are doing, because if you are on a computer, you may need to study something on the Internet. . . . .
They have the internet with the iPod touch, so you can also use it to get information. . . . . it depends! ! ! ! ! :)))
Well, our kids need technology to relax and be kids for the time being.
I have an xbox 360 and I play Halo 3 and drive the green car.
It taught me about agriculture and crops.
I basically agree with President Obama because I think most of the kids who are growing up now rely on electronics and don't hang out.
Now most kids can't tell the difference between Norwegian pine and jack pine just because they don't do anything but video games and text messages.
Yes, electronic devices can distract homework, but in moderation they can be used well for communication or research, but do not over-use these objects.
I believe President Obama is right to tell students not to study electronics too much [and games].
No, it's not a distraction, it's also a learning, I tend to follow the beat from the list to the ipod, I got a quick response time from playing "Call" on Xbox it to help me react because it's always different every time you play so you can't remember the game, it's a learning game and the system will also remember what you did and then you have to press in order to win-Ty-
I do think many things in people's lives are distracting.
For example, we have been watching TV, or watching TV on the computer, but we also learn from the same interference.
I don't think many people can survive by technology, but they should learn not to always rely on technology.
I agree with Lisboa, it depends on what game you are playing, and if it is bloody, fighting is a distraction, but if it is a learning game, so it's because when children use these electronic devices, we learn hand-eye coordination and know information that we didn't know before.
I believe they created it to make our computers smarter!
I think the computer and ipod are good for you because you can learn and study on the computer.
On some iPods, you can look for things online.
In other people, you can listen to music, whether it's rock, country or church music.
Some songs are meaningful, others are not.
They don't necessarily distract you because in your free time you can listen to your iPod and learn at the same time on your computer.
It depends on what to play.
Some game systems can be distracting, but some are relaxing.
Some things can teach us a lot.
Entertainment is an entertainment. . . . .
That's why it's interesting.
People need to learn how to manage their time wisely and always challenge themselves.
Remember, you always have a choice. . .
This is empowerment now. . .
I agree, because the media like Fox News is one-sided, it does not provide legal information or the whole story.
Then you have kids sitting there every day playing 4 hours of games instead of reading or learning.
I think technology is a good thing but bad thing because it is a kind of destruction for some kids because they just use it to mess around in their free time, but others need it. . . . . . . . It depends:):):)
I think technology is very useful and can be educated.
It helps you when you need resources.
It can sometimes distract, though.
It all depends on the purpose of your use of this technology and the technology you use.
I think technology can be very useful when you need educational resources.
There are certain technologies for the time and place of entertainment.
I don't agree with Obama because some people work better with music playing or background noise.
I don't think it's going to distract, because they really devalue children if they learn or not.
This is not an electronic fault.
I think video games are good for your people because it gives you difficulties, teaches you things you never know in school, and it teaches it in a fun way
Just like the game brain times, it's fun, and it's fun for you to learn.
I think some techniques may be distracting, but it does come in handy and is very useful.
All you need to do is use it correctly and be responsible for it.
Some devices may help. .
But most of them just play games and communicate. .
Etcsome kids may be able to control how many games they play, but some kids may just play 24/7 instead of doing something else.
I think it helps you because I 've been playing Xbox360 and I think it gives me hand-eye coordination. His distraction from the ipod and ipad is correct.
Technology is an interference, the president says, because it makes it easier for people to understand the truth rather than listen to his lies.
I think video games are a distraction and a waste of time.
If you like video games, you should stop playing and go out and enjoy life.
I don't think it's a waste of time to use things like the xbox adn ipod.
I think it can help you learn how to use technology.
It can give you good information and bad information.
All the information we get from the ipod can be wrong or correct.
I think it's a good thing to use all of these extra techniques because it can keep us away from bad things like gangs and smoking. . . and. . . drugs.
You can sit down and play some games when you are bored.
In addition, you can interact with others from different countries.
I think they are huge distractions because once you get hooked on them you won't be able to get rid of them and they will let you spend your money on something virtual, for example, the sacred season loses money! ! ! ! ! !
Don't buy them. I think everyone should know how to use the computer, Wii, box, ipodI, and I think it's a way to get kids out of trouble and take advantage of it. So yes.
Games and other things can distract you, but you can also learn from some games.
The game is one thing you do when you're bored, or nothing else.
The computer won't distract you until you get into the game and other things.
I think it's a good thing that we have laptops, ipod and MP3 players that help us learn how to do research for test papers and we can talk to people like family members.
I think people blame the media for warning you not to do so.
These things help us in our daily life. Wow!
I love the technology, but I find myself spending too much time on games and using social networking sites.
Maybe I should go out more.
Video games are the best! ! !
The game is my life and my career! !
I play about 6 hours a day!
I think everyone should know how to use the computer, Wii, box, ipodI think it depends.
Some games can be bad for you, some games can actually teach you something.
Like kids playing leapster games, it can help them learn how to read.
Ipod, iphone and ipads are also educational in some ways, like they have different apps, you can upload them like you did on the ipad, you can read books and do
The only bad thing about playing video games is that they kill your brain and that's what some kids do all day long and they're confused about it.
I think we should be able to play video games and so on, because this is how children spend their daily lives.
We may be rewarded for getting good grades or for success in things you think you can't accomplish.
But one bad thing for all of this is that kids can indulge in these video games and do nothing about their lives, instead sitting at home and not doing anything productive
I think it might be distracting, but it helps as well.
If you haven't done much, it's just a way to socialize with friends.
However, some people will let it take over their lives.
Some technologies may be distracting, while others may be helpful to the community.
Game Boys, game stations and Nintendo can be distracting, but things like Facebook and my space can help people keep in touch with family and friends.
Things that are not very important may distract you, but I think it is a wise way to stay in touch with others. mr.
If you think video games, ipod and ipad will distract you.
Then you will not think that the world can use this new technology.
We can look at the people who are seriously injured and find out the problem soon.
I pod is fun.
I think technology may distract people, but it may also be the source of information.
Most of the time, we need to use technology at school to get information.
However, some children are using their ipod, ipad, etc.
Too much to distract it.
I think everything we do is distracting.
At school I see a lot of people using I pods or handheld games.
We don't need to allow anything in the school except our home.
I think it's information and distraction!
Social networking sites can distract people from school work and other activities, such as playing outside.
It can also help you find information about the school or something quickly.
When you let the information distract, it distracts.
You do this by choosing the information you accept.
We have all the technology to make things easier and we still want more.
We are getting lazy.
I think technology has its advantages and disadvantages.
Technology is a good thing when learning and getting help and information online, but when kids and adults are addicted to video games and other devices, it doesn't matter anything but playing, I crossed the line.
I mean, if you go check your email every day, or play a game or two, it's OK to learn.
But when people are using these devices all day, I don't think it's healthy!
I think President Obama is in a way informative and distracting.
I think it's informative because if you're on facebook or something like that, then you have a way to keep in touch with family and friends you don't often see.
I think it might be distracting because if you keep playing a game that's not like a brain type or educational game and keep playing, then I think distracting
I don't know if it's xbox, iPods, etc.
Be distracted or not.
I say this because I like video games and iPods.
However, they occasionally distract me.
So I think they're a distraction video game, not an ipod.
I don't know what he means?
Is there any bias in the news my Playstation gave me?
Didn't my XBox tell me all the facts?
What exactly does he think is the source of these media?
If the only message you get is from your XBox, you will be told;
But if you only get your message from an electric toothbrush, the same is true.
I don't think I would think that my Playstation has given me any news or arguments, which is wrong and even more unreasonable madness. . .
Not to mention the news that is not ranked high on the "measurement of truth.
"You don't understand.
Obama is talking about Internet-compatible devices, not just gaming.
It's definitely a distraction, I don't have these things and I don't play video games, I believe it's just another way for kids to waste their time instead of learning.
I think video games will teach you new vocabulary and help you develop strategies.
Video games will help you learn and entertain your free time unless you are addicted to the game.
I think the syntax on this page is a good indication that technology may distract some people in the wrong hands.
There are a lot of misuses, missing and redundant spots for punctuation.
I think this is a question that could be good for a generation to ask on a micro-computer.
Blogs, text messages and instant messaging.
In its defense, technology contributes to the Promotion of International Business and Communication in support of a global society that is making human rights and sympathetic to globalization.
Like nuclear technology, it can be used to illuminate the city, or to erase the city from the map.
I will not blame technology as much as blaming the parental control and education system for failing to convey media literacy. Also.
Isn't this a biased sample?
You are asking people who can access the Internet and people who search for news.
One might argue that the survey is systematic, although it may be unintentional, to look for certain demographics that may selectively target people with similar tendencies.
It's a distraction that people are addicted to video games instead of phonix.
Obama is absolutely right. 40-
Fifty years ago, our country did not have the technology we have today, and as a country, we seem to be much more successful than we are now.
I fully agree with Obama that these tools will distract me.
The highgleberrys of these new times and what is not absolutely unnecessary should be banned.
This will be a big step in bringing our country back together.
I believe there are technologies that can be distracting, such as video games, ipod and computers.
But computers and iPods can be used for information and learning.
These electronic devices do not cause harm when used in moderation.
New devices like the new IPad help me learn.
The game is where it is!
Xbox is my life, it's not a distraction if it makes me happy, I believe our generation has adapted to the era of coexistence with technology, our previous generation
I don't agree with Obama because technology is very useful and can help students.
I believe technology is both informative and distracting.
Technology is a huge asset that can help students in many ways.
However, it only works if it is used for the right purpose.
I love video games! I love them.
I'm not going anywhere without an ipod.
Video games and ipod won't distract you!
That's how they helped the past. Our teacher, Sir.
Helped our class to negotiate on this issue.
We believe that they are a good thing in terms of access to information, etc. , but they may also be as distracting as texting.
I don't believe technology is distracting.
I have been playing games but still getting A in A row.
I think the proliferation of information and technology has unfortunately become part of everyday life. . .
I think this game will distract you from homework and mom will tell you what to do?
I think they help the students.
Like in some games, it will teach you the story of his past war and how it looks.
I think it's more fun for kids and they can still learn.
Even learning leap frog games helped me and they were fun.
I think that technology is useful when certain tasks or jobs are needed, but I would say that if it's just for use at any time, it might distract schools, jobs, etc.
Video games are distracting.
My brother is addicted to our wii and it gets so bad during Christmas that he can't touch it for a week. . . he did anyway.
I believe Obama is wrong! !
It seems like a waste of time because he doesn't know how to play them. I agree with Obama, and I disagree with Obama.
Some games are distracting, but some provide information.
If he takes away the technology that people can't communicate with friends and family.
I think there are things that can be distracting, and there are things that don't.
Computers can help you do things like reports.
Other things like video games can distract you.
I think they are both informative and distracting.
Computers and the Internet are great places to get information, but we take it for granted and use it for entertainment.
Things like xbox and other video game systems are purely for entertainment and entertainment. . .
So it can go any way.
I think some people spend a lot of time on a distracting game system, but at the same time, it depends on who it is.
Yes, I think they might be very distracting, but at the same time, it's a new generation and most people feel like it's a great entertainment.
I think some people who have been around them should go out and exercise because that's why most children, teenagers and adults are getting so fat;
Too many video games.
So, yes, I think they are a distraction and they don't help anyone. Xoxo-Summer.
I think it might be helpful and distracting.
You can do educational things with all these products, or you can do non-educational things.
If you mix them evenly, you'll be fine.
I think they will be distracted even though they have a good time.
The Ipod is fun for students to take them to school and play in class.
Then some students go home and play Xbox 360 or playstation 3 there.
So they can distract a lot of people. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I don't agree with President Obama.
These things provide us with useful information and help us solve the problem.
I mean, they will definitely distract when you do your homework, but you can put them away and do your homework.
I listen to my ipod when I run, and it helps me to work faster when I do housework, so I don't think they distract me.
I strongly
