After reading the article that says the internet is bad for us, I don’t agree with the guy but I agree more with Jane Mcgonical.  Many people are addicted to the internet but there are also a lot who aren’t.  I don’t necessarily think that the internet has made my life easier in any except for maybe schoolwork.  However, Facebook and Twitter are pretty big distractions while you’re on the internet for school so it’s not all good.  I think the internet makes most people more socialble through Facebook and other social networking sites.  Some people do get addicted to online games, I was once one of them but it’s not all bad.  You make some online friends that you have nothing in common with except for the game.  Once this game is over then you never talk to them anymore. Some quiet people actually become sociable from this and can benefit greatly.  The internet can be bad for gambling addiction.  Someone that can’t gamble because the casino is closed can come home and gamble their life away on the internet.

I went to the presentation about how pre-workout drinks have an effect on how well you workout.  The presentation was very good and there as an amazing amount of data that they collected.  The presenter tested 3 different liquids that they tried, water, red bull, and a standard pre-workout mix that you would buy at GNC or Complete Nutrition.  The pre-workout mix is graded out as the best and there was a sharp decline in the red bull when you took it.  All in all it was a good presentation and I felt like I learned alot in this presentation.
