My week has been very hectic with work and family, but with the research that I have found, it's been very useful to me. My perspective with my research question has not really changed. My current up to date research question is "How is technology contributing to the obesity epidemic in the United States?" After posting and looking over some comments on it in my group discussion, I'm still in the process of thinking about narrowing my research question even more to the age group of children and adolescence I'm still doing some research so I believe that the more research I uncover about my topic I will be able to determine if I should narrow it even more with that age group. I've learned a lot about the contributing factors of technology. For example obesity isn't just becoming an issue within the United States, but rather all around the world! Obviously I won;t be talking about that within my paper, but it was interesting to read about it.
I've also decided to use driving as one of the new technologies that are a part of all of this. I didn't necessarily think about cars as a "new technology" but with this people aren't walking, or biking as much as people maybe once used to. I'm not quite sure how I will organize my paper yet. I think I might break up the paragraphs by technologies that are a direct affect on the obesity epidemic. Some examples are television, cell phones, cars, etc.
