Hunger Games Trilogy discussion

Is the fact that technology is at our fingertips all day every day ruining our social and mental skills?

In a way yes and and in another no. I have mentioned Awaken by Katie Kacvinsky in the TPBM discussion. Awaken is based on technology becoming too much as a problem. It is an extremely good and I highly recommend it

I think Technology does a lot of good. If you want to know something, like how to spell a word, instead of spending twenty minutes flipping through a dictionary all you've gotta do is go on Google and, BAM! there it is.
But at the same time, I think some people are too addicted to their phones, constantly texting and chatting and never actually seeing the person they're talking to in person.

Technology is a good thing...to a point. We have more access to more information than ever before. However, as we become obsessed with these devices, we spend less and less time with loved ones. (Oh, and I WILL read that book. It sounds good.)

Yes. Exactly. Technology can be very good if you use it right and not all the time. Sites like GOODREADS!! are good!

Yup! Unless it's preventing you from things you need to be doing (guilty as charged).

... sorry, math teacher. It was Goodreads' fault...

Haha!

I was talking about books with intelligent people! Don't blame me!

Don't worry, Charlie, we don't blame you. :D
