Assignment 2- Sabrina Lozada

If I had been born 20 years, I think it would be reasonable to say I would be 1. More amazed with Technological advancements and 2. Have a harder time with technology. Whenever I talk  to someone older about technology they will gush about how far technology has come or how they sometimes have a hard time navigating technology.
Compare kids born within the last 5-10 years to those of older generations. Whenever you go out, at least in my experience, you are bound to see 7 year olds on iPhones. They don't seem to be baffled by how far technology has come and honestly  probably don't give it a thought. They appear to be immune to the amount of information and potential they can fit between their grubby little hands. They also know how to navigate through iPhones in a blink of an eye. Whereas older generations seem to have a harder time.
The interaction between others 20 years ago  would definitely be stronger than that of those of future generations. If you were to place a group  born within the past 5-10 years in a room with their phones  and a group of  people born 20 years ago in another, you  would be amazed at the difference between the interactions in those two rooms. The one with the older generation might get on their phones, but they would more than likely begin to speak to one another, introduce themselves, and end up knowing a fact about one another. The younger generation might look at eachother in acknowledgement then proceed to look at through their phones the rest of the time. Because the older generation grew up in a less advanced time period, they grew less dependent on technology and grew up in a time where they were much more reliant on face to face interaction.
I think that generations born in the last 15-20 years are better off because they get a good balance where they have social skills and are able to have access to technology.
