Reaction paper #2 due 1-29

Here is the article:

If you can't get to it from there, try this link:

And click the first story.

Now, I'd like you to argue both sides of this issue: For half a page, talk about why it is a BAD thing that kids are online all the time. What are the dysfunctions here? For the second half, take the other side. Why is it a GOOD thing that kids are always online? How does it make them a better person, smarter, etc.? Remember to quote the article.

One tip... read the article. Then read the questions again. Let it soak in for a day or two. Then sit down to write. You'll find you'll have more to say than if you try to write it right after reading. Your brain will work on it even if you don't realize it. (It does work!)
