I chose this article because its crazy how teens now a days are so concentrated on their phones and computers instead of their homework. Whether they’re texting while talking to friends or plugging in to an iPod while studying, today's teenagers seem to be constantly multitasking. Young people are spending at least seven-and-a-half hours a day with media computers, cell phones, TV or music -- and by frequently multitasking that means they're packing in the equivalent of nearly 11 hours hours of content, according to a 2010 study by the Kaiser Family Foundation. That's an increase from nearly six-and-half hours a day, or eight-and-a-half hours of media multitasking, just six years ago. Parents who grew up in a world without all the technological chatter often find themselves wondering whether their kids will ever learn to focus on one thing at a time. They ask: Are we raising an entire generation of children with attention deficit disorder?
