No link pls: Do you think technology and media are actually affecting your ability to focus, think, or connect with other people? If so, is it affecting you in a good, bad, or neutral way?

I believe that technology and media is greatly affecting people's abilities to focus, think, and connect with others. Social media can lead to short attention spans, which is especially seen with the use of platforms such as TikTok. Additionally, social media changes the ways we connect with others. Where a normal conversation would allow for visual cues, as well as tone of voice, text messages do not allow for these types of connection. Overall, I believe that technology and media has both positive and negative effects on society.

sentences vary by structure as well as by function. there are compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

simple sentence

i like to read.

a simple sentence has one independent clause.

compound sentence

i like to read, and i also like to write.

a compound sentence includes more than one independent clause, connected by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet).

complex sentence

i prefer to read books that are bestsellers.

a complex sentence includes one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. (a dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone.) types of dependent clauses include relative clauses (i kicked the boy who pinched me), adverb clauses (i am going home now because i have a curfew), and noun clauses (i don't know what to do next).

compound-complex sentence

although i prefer to read current bestsellers, i do like to read old agatha christie mysteries, and i also like some 20th-century science fiction.

compound-complex sentences take a bunch of clauses (multiple independent clauses, and one or more dependent clauses) and toss them together like a salad. although these sentences take practice to write in a grammatically correct fashion, they can hold a tremendous amount of meaning, and are common in academic writing.
