"Modern Technology is Changing the Way our Brains Work" by Susan Greenfield
Hello Revolutionary Matadors and everyone! Since I will be discussing technology and the changes in interaction, in Beyond Words on pages 423-426 Susan Greenfield states that peoples' identity is deteriorating because of modern technology which changes the brain complexion into a less focused, lack of communication, and abstract thinking. Her argument that technology influences young people, in particular, to think and behave a certain way. Greenfield explains that the brain acts on anything whether it is violent video games, television , and etc. which could become a negative way to alter the behavior of a person. The brain reacts and behaves based on the outer environment experiences which contributes to the people when they interact with someone. Modern technology is speaking for the people (almost literally) because sometimes people do not take the time to research and explorer options for themselves.
