Digital Nation

After watching clips from FRONTLINE: digital_nation, respond to the positives and negatives of time-based media based on your personal experience. 
- How do you create a focused atmosphere? 
- How do you combat “distractions” so that you are capable of managing your attention?

I feel like the kids will not pay attention to the professor 100 percent because they will concentrate with their entertainment more. According to the speech of the professor from Columbia University. He said that his students should get 100 percent for the average on their exam, but they get only 75 percent because they are not concentrate enough in the class. Some of them are listening music, play game, using internet,etc. Those media activity interrupt student's education a lot. Even though some of the students can do a lot of activity at the one time, in my opinion, I don't think the result will not be good as it supposes to be. 

The way that I create focused atmosphere is every time or whenever I want to study, I have to sit on the chair. I cannot lay down and study on my bed, and also I cannot listen to musics too. I just feel like music will take my attention from the books. 
 Moreover, I also has to limit myself to play face book or chat online, otherwise, I will play non stop and I don't think it is a good idea to spend most of my time on face book or chat on line. However, I still want to know what's going on around the world or about my friends, so I will not prohibit myself to stop everything. I just have to limit myself.
