Oh boy, what is our generation becoming? Nearly everything we do is for ourselves. We make plans for selfish ambitions and narcissistic schemes.
Cell phones, social networks, and everything inbetween. What do you find youself doing when you're waiting in the doctors office? Before class? On your break at work? Whenever you're bored? Hop on your cell phone. It's your essence; your life sustenance. Your life support. People don't think enough about their future. I'm guilty of this as well. Within 15-20 years someone our age will be president. Will he (or she) be making witty, yet snotty tweets? Or will they be publishing food pictures on Instagram? Or [most importantly] will they be posting vague, dramatic status updates on Facebook?
Our generation will be calling the shots, making the big decisions very soon. Let that simmer for a moment; are you ready for that yet? Either we have a whole lot of maturing to do, or this is the new way of life. Welcome to the Information Age. Or should I say Entertainment Age? Neil Postman was right. We are amusing ourselves to death. Lets change that kids, lets prove the baby boomers wrong. We can improve our lives and the future generations lives. I know it's cliche, but lets make a difference.
