i got 4 out of 20; it doesn't effect me because i am not interested in social media or anything like that. I like this quiz because it shows if we are addicted or not, pretty much its like a survey to see what you are like. If you didn't try it then TRY IT.
ReplyDeleteon the test i got a 75%. so i might have an addiction to the internet. the article made me fell that we all are too much into the internet. we can get hurt or killed.
ReplyDeleteOn the quiz i got 4 out of 20, which means i don't have a problem.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the article, I agree on somethings but disagree with others. For example they say "Children with short attention spans 'failing to read books" which my sister actually does and has a hard time reading. But not all people have a shorter attention span, I don't.
I recieved at 5/20 on this quiz. I don't feel I have a HUGE addiction with technology and social media. I feel I know when I'm able to say to myself when to get off and put my electronics away. After reading this article, I do agree with it saying that the average attention span of a human is 8 seconds. We can go from talking to someone to reading a text message that came to our phones a millisecond ago.
ReplyDeleteI got a 13/20 on the quiz, which means I have a bit of a problem. I know this but it's mostly because i have to be connected to my family. It scares me to be completely honest. How attached I am to my phone. But it's for the right reasons, at least that's what I'll tell myself.

How attached I am to my phone. But it's for the right reasons, at least that's what I'll tell myself.I do agree with the article when it explained children with short attention spans are reading less books which is very true. My aunts and uncles give their kids I Pads or tablets in hopes of them being quiet.They rather have an ipad instead of a book and that is very sad.
DeleteI got a 3/20 on the quiz. I can have good attention span when it comes to being focus but on the regular its pretty well... bad.
ReplyDeleteI got a 7/20. I think I need to work on being focused and on task. I use my phone for schoolwork too like asking for help or checking eboard.
ReplyDeleteI got a 4/20. It turns out i don't have a problem with my phone. I check it now and then, to in touch with my parents, but I mainly use my phone for music. I thought this article was interesting because it gave me very useful information.
ReplyDeleteI got a quiz on 4/20. I do have a problem with my phone. I need to answer a text if my phone rings, but now I turned my phone off or give it to my parents , so I don't get distracted. To help I also listen to music.
ReplyDeleteI got a quiz on 13/20. I didn't translate the question, so I didn't understand some of it and I think I didn't know something about the social media. And I will still work hard to get a good mark.
ReplyDeleteI got a 7/20 on the quiz. I feel like I only use my phone for talking to family and checking social media once in a while. I don't think I have a problem with an addiction because I am not always on my phone or feel the need to use it
ReplyDeleteOn the quiz I received a 11/20. I feel like I do need to cut down on my use of technology but it is not the worst. In the article it reflects on how people's attention is getting worse because of the consant need of checking social media, etc.
