you pay more to be distracted on technology then you do on technology.

In the New York times I read three mini articles called "Attached to Technology and Paying The Price for it" , "Growing up Digital and Wired for Distraction" and "Digital Devices Deprive Brain for Downtime" . As i was reading these interesting articles, i thought that they all kind if said the same thing. this day in  age most people/teenagers are being taking over by their devices. our attention span is not like it use to wen this world was lacking in technology. I think that technology is taking over the schools and at big companies. Being attached can make affect certain people. Like for college students, being on the phone or listening to music can grab our attention faster and longer than a teacher or our parents or our friends. I would like to know how does parents and teaches react or handle technology these days?
