Digital health

It Adds Up (and Up, and Up)

This article talks about how gadgets and technology has evolved over the years. such as a man named Jon green who used to use an antenna which consisted of 7 channels for his tv. now he uses cable and satellite which shows how much it has advances. he used to also use big wire telephones, and now he uses a cell phone as does everyone else. many people from grades 4 and up are starting to get cell phones and it shows that it is not an adult thing any more yet it is for all ages.

Cyber Bullying

David knight is a student in high school who has been a victim of cyber bullying. He likes to pilot planes and do other plane related activities. yet one day at school people started to laugh at him and make jokes about him. he did not no the reason for this until he heard that there is a sight on him saying very bad things about him. He got very depressed and could not take it. he was not comfortable at school and his grades started to drop. so he ;eft school and finished his last year of school at home. 
David said that this problem mainly started when he started going into chat rooms. he said that it is a major part of being a teenager. you want to be social and don't want to be the worst.

I believe david learned a major lesson in this, and that is never talk to people that you do not know. step out when you think its to much and always go where your heart leads you to. I have also learned this lesson after reading this and i will never do what he has done.

A reason for this decrease is mainly because of an economic fall, and now companies cannot show at the show due to not being able to travel to the show.
