"What's the Matter with Kids Today?" by Amy Goldwasser

Out of the 4 articles that I read, my favorite article was "Whats the Matter with Kids Todays?" by Amy Goldwasser. I really enjoyed all the other articles but the main reason why I like Goldwasser's article more is because she first talks about the flaws of the internet towards the kids and then she goes into detail of why the internet is being treated as a villain. What I agreed on the most from her article was when she was discussing that parents need to stop treating the internet as a villain. She explains that the day that happens then the teenage population will have the potential to become the next great voices of America. I also really like how she ended her article by saying, "One of them, 70 years from now, might even get up there to accept the very award Lessing did -- and thank the Internet for making him or her a writer and a thinker." The reason why I like how she ends her article is because she doesn't end it by saying the internet is a bad thing. She ends it by saying that in the future the internet can have a good positive impact after all.

My Usual Sunday

Today I spent my Sunday playing 2 soccer games. The first one was at 8 in the morning, luckily we won 3-0. In order for us to enter the play offs we need to win the next few games that are left. The second game was at 12 p.m unfortunately we lost that game 1-0 because we were down one man. After my soccer games I bought some In-n-Out. Now I'm just relaxing and waiting for my week to begin.
