procrastination because of technology

I know I am not the only one that gets distracted very easily. I have to admit that doing this summer AP english homework got really boring at times. More than enough times I found myself going on the laptop, listening to music, or going on my phone when I should have been reading or writing.  It was a challenge to leave my phone in another room to do my work because I kept on thinking what is going on that I am missing? What if someone texted me? What if I got a snapchat? While reading "The Shallows" by Nicholas Carr, it kind of gave me more of an ease about not touching my phone for long periods of time. I realized how technology has taken a big part in my life and it is causing more harm than assisting my life. It is definitely not healthy to be on the Internet every second of the day.
