BUS202:7 Online Critical Thinking and Decision Making

Have a lot of time on your hands and become bored easily?

Encounter the urge to “cheat” and check in with your usual technology outlets?

Seek out non-technological forms of engagement that you had begun to disregard, such as reading favorite books or magazines, talking with a friend, or just going on a walk?

Begin to consider how important your relationship to technology has become to your daily life and self-identity?

Become freed up to engage more deeply or creatively with your own thoughts?

Feel either more relaxed and at ease, or more anxious and distracted?

After responding to these questions, analyze what factors accounted for your experience. Would you do a technology break again?
