Comparison Blog
in this blog I have to compare one of our readings to Everything Bad is Good for You. the reading that I'm choosing to pick is the Futile pursuit of happiness . In everything bad is good for you they talk about how TV makes you sit back and relax and the internet makes you lean forward and interact with the computer. He also talks about his nephew and how he was playing the video game sims with him and he turns to his uncle after playing it a while and says you need to lower your industrial taxes to make money. In pursuit of happiness they talk about how people try to predict that one thing or one event will make them more happier and better off in life when really it doesn't. If you think about what I just said and think about the game that and steven Johnson playing with his nephew. when they are playing the game everything that they do in the game they think is bettering their odds at playing but if you look at the big picture it really doesn't in the long wrong they will have to change what ever they did eventually to be happy for a short while.

There are lots of games out there that make you learn when you don't actually view it as learning. Why do you think his nephew was able to solve the problem to the sims game faster than Steven was?
