As good of a thing technology is and can be... it can also be a horrible horrible thing.

Society as a whole is progressing fast. real fast in fact in the last 100 years our sci fi movies have became documentaries. Actually movies are a recent thing that we now have an entire thriving industry people are trying hard to be a part of. Plays seem to be a thing of the past. you might find them at a park somewhere but I guarantee you there will be a young kid whos feet cant touch the ground sitting there with an ipad watching miley cyrus as the play is going on.

Now led zeppelin was not a part of my generation but in a way I feel they very much were. My generation was in elementary when the internet started to take off. In 6th grade I was blazing around the internet on msm messenger and aol tarrying stuff up. Napster and winmx were a real thing. I was hacking wrestling games with a modded gameshark and my parents couldn't figure out for the life of them how I had all this "free" music. They were part of the tower records gen. lol like that? I just made it up. The thing is my generation it seems started the whole "glued" to the screen thing. Almost worse then our parents and their "boob tubes."

Now with social media we have no need to be "social" we just say and all agree we are. Which just because everyone thinks it's true. It is not. In fact, it's a lie. technology is quite quickly slowing down people using social skills or even needing them in real life. So many people are dependent in asking google for answers. Old grandpa in his chair is now not a decent source of information on how to do things around the house and in life. He's using google!

If you are still not sure what its like to grow up in 2017. Kids now have to grow up in a world where this kid gets things and is popular. Not for being smart, not for being respectful, Not for being original, but for getting attention and making himself into a fraudulent product to sell to other kids that no no better.
