MY EIP PROJECT I did my extended inquiry project on the
negative impact of technology on youth because it is currently a growing problem in our society. Also I was curios about the extreme of the physical and emotional effect it has on people.

MY PROJECT: My audience is teenagers and their parents because the teens
actually go through this problem and parents try to solve it. My purpose for this project was to inform people about the
negative influence it has on children and find ways to fix it. My topic was on the negative effects that technology has on youth
in this generation. I chose this topic because I have personally witnessed many of my friends and family get caught up in this kind of life style and wanted to find ways to solve this problem.
I chose PowerPoint to present this topic because I personally am a very visual person and PowerPoint allowed me to set my project the way I wanted to with all the pictures that I felt were necessary .

PRIVACY The internet has taken away the world of privacy. The
average person can find someone's personal information very easily theses days with just a few clicks on a keyboard.
People especially teenagers tend to put everything on their social media. Not knowing how dangerous it could be. Phishing, viruses and hacking are ways in which people can get into your system and find any information they wish to obtain.
