I am said to say some of my classmates did not read it one time. Shows how teenagers are. I think it depends on what we were raised on. Appearantly I used to ask my mom when I was a little kid why the TV was always black. I am realizing that Facebook is meant to be a tool, not entertain. If we used it as a tool, only using it for a working purpose instead of turning into zombies when we went online, things might be a little better. With teenagers today, I think we are forgetting what internet used to be like, with the dial up tone every time we went online telling us that the internet has a cost, and that the computer and internet were first designed to make things faster and as a connection. Lastly, I work at a Bible camp in central MN for half my summer. I think a lot when I am there. It is a blessing to be in the country, as somebody else has posted -- brings us closer to God and we have less man made distractions. I end up craving that life a month or two into being back at 'home' in the cities, but even with a month and a half in the country, it trains me to live my life in the cities differently and give myself up for real thinking as shown in this. I prize the times I have when I can just sit silently and wait and I end up thinking in those times, or just observing stuff at the Normal human pace. Many thoughts on this subject:

This post is great! If teens just got rid of updating Facebook or texting ALL the time, imagine what they could be doing for Christ! There can be a healthy balance, but most of the time, teens don't know that. They just spend all their time doing the unhealthy stuff! Thanks for writing this eye-opening article! ~Laura Wow!

The problem is, I try to do something or want to do something that will change my life or spiritual life for the better, but it never happens for this reason or that, but they are actually excuses. Please pray for me to make everything, like devos and hard thinking, a habit so my relationship with Jesus grows stronger. Thank you for this post ~DW I love your every one of your guys’ posts.

Our Western society is becoming mentally out of shape because of the low quality snacks intellectual. Our minds are getting more and more fragmented, so reserving time to put order in your mind will benefit anyone. Very nice article
