Tweet! Ding! Teens’ phones flood with notifications, messages, and updates from social media. Technology has started to consume a lot of people's time, and they are starting to spend more time with technology than with other people. Many younger generations are also starting to catch onto this trend. People are worried that technology is driving the future into the wrong direction.

Hand-eye coordination is a skill many of us overlook. We use our hands to complete everyday tasks without the constant supervision of our eyes. Take this chapter for an example; I wrote most of it without my eyes constantly on the keyboard, because my hands already know what buttons to press. However, my keyboard skills didn't formulate at the moment of my birth; instead, I had to practice. How did I practice? Video games. Online video games to be exact.
