I think the article has some interesting points, like about how kids can be distracted by technology and how to teach kids through technology. I don't really resemble any of the kids in the article or video, as far as my media use goes. (funnily they only show the two extremes) I manage to do my homework, and still spend a lot of time on the internet and gaming. I'm in the middle, like they guy in the video says; "moderation" My phone is also bad for texting, so I guess that helps.
I spend a lot of time on the computer, gaming mostly, or just surfing around. I do a lot of my homework on the computer too and I do sometimes take brakes and look at Facebook or deviantART, I also might read a few web comics. But I don't let myself take to much time on it. It's just so I can take a rest from my megahuge essay or what ever else I'm working on. It often helps my homework be less painful as long as I don't spend to much time on it. Often I won't let myself do anything to awesome until after I finish my homework, that way I know I will get ti done. I don't play games instead of doing homework, that is really the big thing that helps me. I mostly play strategy or puzzle games anyways, like Portal, not shoot 'em ups.
So, I'm not like the kids in the article at all. I game a lot and use the computer, but I still get my work done. I can limit myself if I need to.

nice job it seems like you put a lot of effort into this well done
Good job, you go into a good amount of detail and it's not exremely long.
You did a great job on staying true and showed how you weren't related to the article.
Yeah. i try to moderate myself as well, but it usually doesn't turn put as well. Even though I really want to get Portal, I think more media would just kill me. Nice job not procrastinating
Very Good
I agree with many of your points and I also think it is interesting that they only showed the two extremes in the video.
Like you, I tend to be on the moderate side of the spectrum and find the vortex that is the internet to be a wonderful distraction from the mundane nature of some of my work.
I especially like it when I am writing big papers. However, sometimes I can loose myself.
Understanding the relationship and limits will be a truly beneficial gift as you enter into the college atmosphere.
I look forward to hearing about how you moderate and navigate the tenuous relationship in that domain.
Besides from some grammar issues, very nice work.

...... Really...? Rose, you complain about how long it takes me to do my homework! I could complain about you!
