What are the disadvantages that come with being born in the last 25 years? How does society differ from when your parents were born?



The Contemporary Era
 
 
The world has been transformed with the technlogy. Children in this age are familiar to electronic gadgets. It seems that barbies and kens have been replaced for Ipads, Playstations and Xboxs.
 
Nowadays, Kids are raised with the exposure of the new technology. The internet has played an important role here.
 
As a result of the facilities that came up with the internet, we can be connected with the whole world with just a click. The free access to different tipe of information has opened the world to the globalization of communication.
 
But not always was like this. My grandma tells stories about how letters were used to be send. First just the postman riding his bicycle used to go door by door throwing correspondence. Furthermore, if the person needed to send a letter to another city or contry, the documents had to be send it by bus or ship. It took months and in some cases years for the other person to receive the shipping. Opposite that how is in this time, documents can be scan and send it by electronic mail.

The television, the phone, the Radio and The Airplane have been invetions which have been changed and impacted everyone's life.

Not only the revolution of technology that we are living now has come up with great things, but also it has brought its disadvantages. We live in the time that all is on the palm of our hands. As easiest you get what you want as easiest you forget it and throw it away.

Aditionally, The same is happened with the information. With The social media on the table. Media have been pushed to bring as much news as they can. Sometimes even without confirme if what they are announced is real truth. Before Media had to investigate deeply to proceed with the new. Now in news conferences the reporters constantly are making tweets that after has to be corrected because another question the statements expressed seemed to be different.

The technology has made lazy people in all their roles. Students believe all that is written in wikipedia. When I was in the school books where the bible of knowledge, not now.  Workers try to resolve problems trough the net even without ask information to the experimented people or spend more time doing research.

The way of communication would not be the same anymore. I find annoying when in a group of people there is not verbal interaction, just text message. Technology has despersonalized the human race.
