This past year in school I have realized that things are evolving a lot quicker than other people realize. I have taken a few classes which we were asked questions about media now days. I do think that all the new electronics are taking over all of the old techniques. Today, my grandparents could tell you about how they use to write letters to their loved ones. The letters showed more affection and was also the best way of communication back then. Whereas the closest we got to send letters to people was when we were little sending out birthday party invitations. We never really wrote letters unless we were really distant from someone who would want to receive a letter. But, that is the stories that our grandparents would tell us and we would be nowhere close to the same communication ways as them. Now days we are always using other things to communicate such as, texting, calling, facebook messaging, twitter and using personal e-mail.
I guess what I am trying to say is that this whole argument does matter but, then again it is just the natural step in life. Our grandparents have stories to tell us and now is our chance to develop our stories to tell to our grandkids when we are older. I bet a long time ago people would complain about others having the next big thing, but nobody noticed they were complaining; because they didn't have anything that would put it publicly to the world with the click of a button. So to sum it up; it does matter, it is just the next step in life, try to remember your values and cherish your memories.
I really like your post first off the pictures are awesome. I do have to say though I never really thought of moving forward in the fact that it is a new time and a new generation. We are creating what our children are going to learn from us. We are teaching our children that they can make a difference in the world and make something that is life changing. Could you imagine though if instead of having so many people participate in something like Facebook that instead they could all work together for a walk for the cure of something. Considering the average number that most people spend on the computer they could be doing something that would forever change their lives for the better. I personally feel like we are creating an addiction.
