Unit 1- The Internet and Other Addictions

The Internet and Other Addictions.

Speaking about ADDICTIONS in our society nowadays is a relevant topic because unconsciously people get addicted to many things and they didn’t even notice due by the daily challenges and circumstances we face. In my case I’m addicted to two things: Social Media and Coffee. Since I was a little girl my mom used to give me coffee and I got dependent to it in a way that if I don’t drink coffee every morning and afternoon I get a extreme headache, not only me but my mom and brothers too, this is an addiction we share and learned how to survive with. 

In the other hand technology and electronics devices usage are changing the way we share, live and communicate. Years ago I used to have a cellphone without internet connection and I was happy enough to share with my friends, talk to my parents more frequently, spend time in the living room more than in my bedroom and  talk to my neighbors daily. 

What happened? Did I did something wrong? -No, I was just innovating, getting in touch with new things and experiences. Advertisements took a part on it because every time it appeared in the screen a crazy desire of achievement led me to store. 


I hope we can control this and be aware of the consequences it might bring.

Adverb Clauses of Result: Adverb clauses of result with such...that and so...that present the result of a situation that is stated in the first clause. Let see this: If I say "It was so cold today", I have a simple sentence, but if I add "that we couldn't go out" I have an adverb clause of result. As simple as that! In simple words an adverb clause of result is a simple clause that point out the consequences that brings "the action" we are talking about. I have to say I use this grammar point when talking, but I never thought I was using "Adverb clauses of result". In addition, I did it wrong in the midterm, but at least now I know what the professor was talking about on it.
