Text response 3

This blog is about the article Andrew Sullivan wrote about society being dead as people retreat into their iWorld. Sullivan goes to explain in his article about how people everywhere are losing the ability to communicate with other people, because they spend all of their time in their phones, iPods, macs, and tablets. Sullivan admits that he himself is one of these mindless zombies, instead of acting like other writers who rant about what other people do and acting like they themselves are perfect.

Sullivan is very observant in his article by including the "white wires" tid bit, and talking about how people look and act when they have their headphones in. When people are like this they have an expressionless face and could have no idea whats going on around them. I believe that Sullivan has a good sense of what the world is like right now. People get way to engrossed in their technology they lose the art of communication and interacting with others. The world as we know it is vastly spiraling out of control with this. Kids grades in school are going down because thy bury their faces in games and their phones, little kids at the age of 6 have iPhones! I did not get my first phone till I was 15. If you take a minute to watch the people around you in a room at school or in the work place or even out on the streets while your driving, you will see most people on their phones or game tablets.  All in all i think that Andrew Sullivan has a good point and wrote this article speaking the truth.
