I miss the video lecture on Tuesday but after reading a few of my classmates blog I can draw the Conclusion of what it was about. In a few of the blog's I read my peers spoke of how the blame is not all our generation. It also belongs on our parents. In a way I can agree with this, but I also think the blame should go to the scientist that are inventing the new technologies. For instance Apple keeps coming out with a better "Ipod" almost most every year and a half, and our cellphones laptops and gaming systems just keep getting "better."
However, is having all these technology advances worth it. Think back to when you were a kid and what you played with. For me I had two sisters growing up and we were always outside playing in the dirt or making up games. We weren't inside in front of the t.v. watching commercials or playing games on our "Xbox 360's." You always here the stories from your parents about when they were our age and how they worked for what they wanted, and to change the television channel they had to walk so far. What happened to that?
What happened to the fact that in schools we watch "educational" video's instead of finding out for ourselves. We, as a whole generation, rely so much on the technology that without we almost wouldn't survive. It would almost be like the book Feed without our "feeds" we would be lost and not know what to do with ourselves.
So really who is to blame for how reluctant most of us our to learn new things or play games that involve being blown up or assembled. Is it really our parents, or grandparents, the inventors of so many grand objects, or is it simply just us becoming a lazy generation?
