Learning Challenge: Learning in The Age of Media Distraction

Learning in The Age of Media Distraction, Link to Article

In this day-and-age we are all constantly focused on something else other than the task at hand we need to complete. In this article there was a very good point that the author made, which was is that the younger generation does not know how to focus on one task at a time and that multi-tasking can have a negative impact on us. Such as anxiety, stress, and mood. Most of the younger generation is used to jumping from one activity to he next or one social media platform to the next which as a result they are not trained to just focus on one thing. Exercise can help improve the anxiety and stress associated with multi-tasking. Although we cannot stop people from using technology it is important to take breaks from it and put yourself in an environment where you do not need to be using it. I think we all need to take time to focus on the present and not constantly be worried about other things.

Focus!!!
