I am apart of the Millennials group, people born between 1979 and 1994. We are the babies of the baby boomer generation, we've come a long way and we are a BIG generation. From the book, a quote, which says,
"One thing that all of the Millennials have in common is their utter fluency and comfort with digital technology. They do not just embrace technology, it is a way of life. “All generations are comfortable with technology, but this is the generation that’s been formed by technology,” says a Yahoo! executive. For them, “it is not something separate. It is just something they do.”
I personally agree. I grew up not having the "latest technology", I had the outdoors. Yes, I did have TV, but my parents wanted me to go outside, play, and not just watch cartoons all day. But today's generation, a four year old knows how to operate an IPad, a four year old! A lot of kids don't like going outside anymore, all they want to do is stay inside, watch TV all day, or play on their iPads, iPods, computers, whatever.
I have to help my mom, or my grandma with certain technology, but even I don't know too much. I didn't get my smartphone until after i graduated high school, same with having my own laptop. I sometimes have to call up my older brothers to help me or even my ten year old niece knows more than I do.
It's very mind blowing how far we have come with technology. Some good and some bad. It just depends on what you do with it and how it affects your choices.
