This article links to many kids these days, I could even say I relate to what the author says about teenagers. I’ve always been interested in all sorts of topics about social media because it plays such a big role in peoples lives today. Wherever you go, there are advertisements about it. I liked how the author made the reader connect to what they were writing about. The author uses a few literary devices, but one I noticed the most, was parallelism; The author uses it to make the reader notice what kids do online that affects them negatively. All kids sit on their phones texting, sharing, trolling, scrolling, you name it.”  I always wondered if it affected us in a good or bad way. The author managed to lure me into reading plenty more articles about technology today and how it affects us. I always wished I lived in a time where there was minimal technology, I imagine life to be more simple without it. I noticed that kids these days only care about their phones and the likes they receive per photo they post, instead of focusing on more important topics other than themselves. This article makes me realize how dependant we are on social media that if it were ever taken away, people wouldn’t know what to do with themselves.
