comm 395 1st post!!! Media Coverage.

In this class I hope to learn more about the art of criticism and the proper way to argue. This blog was used in my Rhetoriacal Critism class last year and I scored and A so I've decided to recycle it and use it for this class. My 1st post is about media and the effects it has on society. According to google, children ages 8-18 spent 25% of their time using some sort of media. With that staggering stat, could this be the root of the commonly growing diease A.D.D and A.D.H.D??? I think so. As someone who has had A.D.H.D fo over 10 years, I can definelty think that all the social networks and tech gachets are effecting the youth. Kids aren't going out anymore, they just stay on the computer, on their vidoe games and on the phone texting and / or talikng. This also contributes to childhood obesity. Whether or not this has been a study or has been proven , its true in my book. And society needs to do something about it...
