For this blog, I wanted to write about how the present generation and the older generations are so different. Generations are different in a lot of ways; such as technology, attitude, communication, careers, and media. Many generations before the present didn’t have cell phones or computers. Technology has and is still increasingly incredibly. It’s hard to believe that people had to live without the technology that we have today. Many people, including myself, depend on my phone and my computer; I couldn’t imagine living without either one. Next, people’s attitudes towards things have differed so much. So many people complain about things that aren’t even worth complaining about. For example, in class a teacher that never gives out homework, hands us a worksheet to do that night; the entire class has to wine and moan about it. I’ve come to notice that the little things don’t make people the happiest anymore. Most people today care about money and about themselves. I think there are a lot more selfish people today than there used to be. Communication is a lot different due to technology. In today’s world, we have Facebook bullying and years ago, if someone had a problem with someone else, they’d settle it face to face. There are positives and negatives to how it is and how it used to be, but it’s just amazing how much has changed. It’s so much harder to get a job these days, whether you’re seventeen or thirty. Most, if not all decent jobs today require at least 2-4 years of college. Years ago, college wasn’t nearly as important as it seems to be today. Finally, media has completely changed. Television shows use to be mainly cartoons, now almost every show I watch there is some sort of drama, there’s not enough lessons being taught. There’s a lot of media that is persuading people to do things that they shouldn’t; giving situations and examples that is making people try things they shouldn’t. I just think it’s incredible how different the generations are and it’s only getting worse.
