Internet and technology are said to have ruined our country and younger generations in multiple ways. It is also said that if it wasn’t for internet and technology, our country and youth wouldn’t be close to having the amazing things we do now.

Some people believe younger generations are pathetic because all they do is use social media to talk to each other and never verbally communicate.

Others believe that youth helped upgrade communication – and because of technology, talking face-to-face will soon be a thing of the past. I will admit I am all for technology, but sometimes it can be annoying when the only way you can contact someone is through a phone or social media. My generation has experienced more improvements in technology than ever before.

Some things that make us look kind of pathetic are the fact that there are people that wait in line weeks in tents at stores for the latest product. Don’t those people have jobs? Or families? Any life at all? I guess not.

Maybe they do and just put it on pause so they can be the first to get the latest Apple, Android or Amazon product, unlike the rest of us who wait until a product is in stores or just order it online. Just because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s the best. An example being the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

They allegedly bend in your pocket and have a ton of bugs. This is why you wait to see if it’s really worth all that time waiting in line.

Our generation and others have become wrapped up in social media and technology. But if it wasn’t for technology, we wouldn’t be as far in the world as we are today.
