Hello Mrs Hastings xxxxxxxxx

I’m sorry Miss that I posted it in this section but I really can’t post it
Call me old fashion; but I still love a good old book. I do admit though if it doesn’t generally match my interests or I get distracted easily I tend to then have to put it down. Nowadays everywhere I look people have their phones out and their fingers are going at a speed of 90km/h either on the internet, facebook, tunmblr, even this blog (doing your homework) whatever you can think of really. Half the time this is the case of letting technology ads and advertisement take over and influence us. It’s just like dominos; one person does it and everyone will fall over, give up and get dragged into the technology world. America currently contains about 88 million members of the Net Generation. These "N-Geners" are kids who have been manipulating mouses since an early age. While past generations made do with the telephone and television, today's generation has access to possibly every device imaginable to make our lives easier. Our worlds revolve around super-realistic video games, the Internet, e-mail, instant messaging, online communities, videos and music that can be downloaded over a computer. Thanks to the easy access of the internet, many of us communicate daily on facebook/ tumblr too around the globe; sooner or later the way we’re going, you won’t have to go to a party or socialize because some stupid 3D device will just bring the party to you on your phone or computer. We can even download our homework if we miss a day of school; this really shows our elders how responsible we are in asking about the work we’ve missed and what we have to catch up on. While it's easy to take these activities for granted, this high level of interactivity is shaping us as the Net Generation's culture, values, and world outlook. In case you were wondering this is NOT a thing to be proud of! The way our generation is going with technology and lack of any knowledge, we’re all going to be living on a giant space ship like in Wall-E and let technology and machines control our very existents. I don’t know about you but I would much rather live on earth. True, the internet does open up our views on what ever we want to know at a finger tip away, but half the time we say we’re going to study on the computer; but really what we mean to say is I’m going to go on face book, listen to corny music and type in the first thing that pops in my mind into Google etc. This blog has definitely opened up my world drastically on my past history, what’s happening in the world now (even in my own classroom) and what will happen in the future if we don’t change our way of thinking and view in this world. At the start of this year I looked up too my parents as if they would be able to answer all my questions and that they new everything and were right all the time; clearly I was not part of this family because I had a mind of a sheep or an obsessed lover who followed and believed everything I was told. Honestly it feels like I’m seeing the world again for the very first time being introduced to the most obvious obstacles in life; ones I haven’t even noticed to this day because I expected them to be pointed out. So this time I’m taking the first step without knowing if theirs going to be an arm to catch me from all my problems and falls in life
