1) Do computers give us more human connections or less?

I believe that computers give us bothe more human and less human connections. For example a way that it gives us more human connections is the fact that it is easier to communicate with other people and get your opinon heard. Instead of communicating with people halfway across the world using actual mail (snail mail), you can now just email them and they can get it in 2 minutes or less. You can also get your opinion heard through chatting sites and blogs and vlogs. It is so much easier than before. Also you can now access everything just by phone. However computers also give us less human connections. Many people now a days spend a huge amount of time gaming on the internet they don't have time to do things like go for a walk, go to the gym and even not able to go grocery shopping! If all we do is play on the computer or spend all our time on sites like Facebook, Myspace and Twitter, it will cause many health problems, eyesight problems, carpel tunnel and obese problems. To conclude, there are many pros and cons about human connections. It does good things for us and also many bad things.

3) Should teachers encourage multitasking?

I believe that teachers shouldn't encourage multitasking do to the fact that if you multitask you can never give a 100% on what you're doing. It is much harder to focus on different things at once. Even though you get more done at once it isn't as good as doing one thing at a time. Sure multitasking is okay at times like listening to music while dancing. But when you're doing work ( writing, homework etc.) it isn't cool.
