Ch.6

This chapter is telling us how this generation works just as hard if not harder as the two generations before that even if we do not believe it. It is saying that the internet is not affecting us in a negative, but is actually affecting us in a very positive way and is making us much smarter than we realize. The author is saying how the digital work place of today is so much different in the past 10 to 20 years and what a remarkable change it has made. She is letting us know throughout this chapter that we need to accept the change in our lives for us to continue to be successful and move on in the work place. The internet offers so many opportunities and possibilities for us to be successful that there is no way for us not to accept it in our lives. We need to continue to use it and be successful in the workplace, and records and scores show that we are being more productive than ever in the workplace today. The internet is not a distraction to us, but instead it actually helps us to pay attention more and is a good multi tasking tool that we will use in the future.


The author is arguing that people of today do not believe that we are not working as hard as our parents did or as hard as our grandparents did. The facts show though that we are working just as hard as they did and as a matter of fact we are working harder than they did in today's world. She is also arguing that the internet is not making us stupid and we can't just assume that, she believes that the internet is making us brilliant. She is saying the change in the past decade due to the internet is remarkable in the workplace today. She is mainly arguing that we need to adjust to this new era of technology and accept all the privileges it brings to us and take advantage of them. She wants us to change our work place to adjust to the present time and to make achievements and succeed in a global economy that everyone knows. I do agree with what she is saying about not living in the past and that we have to change with time to succeed. We can't just continue to do what we know, sometimes we have to adjust with the times even if we don't want to. This is the only way we will succeed in life is if we accept the new technology in the workplace and use it to our advantage because it offers so many possibilities for us to excel in.
