Working Bibliography Draft

Atwan, Robert.  America Now.  Ghuman, Shawn.  "Is Technology Destroying Social Bonds?" 2013 Issue.  Tenth Edition.  Print.  22 Feb.  2012.

In Shawn Ghuman's reading, he goes onto tell the drastic change over the past decade regarding technology.  Social media has it's own new meaning now.  It was once something fun and has now become an addiction.  The excessive use of technology has created many issues in today's society.  You can't seem to go out to dinner without seeing people glued to their phone.  Conversations become awkward because people just aren't use to having a face to face discussion with someone.  Technology as we know it, is taking over.

Atwan, Robert.  America Now.  Kutcher, Ashton.  "Has Texting Killed Romance?"  2013 Issue.  Tenth Edition.  Print.  Jan.  2011.

Actor, producer, and co-founder of Katalyst Media, Ashton Kutcher shares his thoughts on how cell phones and texting have become at an all time high.  Kutcher goes onto say that it used to be a boy and a girl met, exchanged numbers, anticipation built, call was made, had hours upon hours of conversation over the phone, then a date was arranged and went from there.  Now instead of calling, we text because silence over the phone is eliminated.  Instead of going over and comforting the person you care for, you send a sweet touching text or write on their Facebook wall, etc.
