"Why Games Are Good for You" by Steven Johnson

 1.What is Johnson's main point? What are some of the supporting details he uses to make that point?
  Johnsons main point in the his text is about comparing reading and game playing. he talks about what it would be like if games were invented before reading and how people downgrade readers and inspire gamers.

2. Johnson likes to challenge conventional wisdom in his writing -- that video games are bad for you, in this case. In at least 12 sentences, argue against an aspect of pop culture that is generally considered "good" or "bad." Use specific examples to support your point.
   In pop-culture today most adults are always talking down on technological advances and how they are corrupting our youth. IE; cell phones, TV, video games and computers. However to an extent anything can be bad if you intake to much of a certain thing, children and teenagers today use a lot of technology because that's what they were raised to know. which some adults were not. Adults look down on excessive cell phone and technology uses. Yes teenagers today do rely on such advances to much and the media makes them think that it is ok to do so, its creating a zombie like culture which in my opinion is to highly depended on. but in todays society of such advances its becoming a very used and great thing to uses technology because its making the impossible very real. My opinion goes both ways in which yes, to much technology is corrupting our youth but at the same time is advancing our culture in many positive ways such as: computers, databases, weapons for military and transportation. Conclusively my argument is not that technology is bad or good but that to much of anything given to our youth is becoming obsessive and overtaking.
