Today's Generation

Times have surely changed since the early1900's. Everything is so different these days from technology, to education, and even social gatherings. Back then, it was all about family and bringing the family together. Now, you hardly ever see familiestogether because of certain situations in society has broken families apart.Technology has changed over time now everyone has laptops, smartphones, iPads,tablets and more. Children as early as five years old have these devices. People do not use phone books anymore because you have an electronic devices which backs contacts up for you. Technology hasallowed online banking from your phone; which is great however, that affects peoplewho work at the bank. Families are being divided due to these electronic devices. You cannot even have a nice meal without seeing someone on their phone. People would rather play on their phones than engage in conversations. Technology has definitely taken over this generation.Education is definitely not the same anymore. When I was in elementary schoolI would have homework and would go to tutoring sessions. Now, there is not any homework being given. Also, instead of teachers helping with work and teaching students how to get the right answers, teachers are giving the answers. By giving answers to the students, they will never learn anything. I come from a school where we did nothing but sat in the classroom and chit chat with our peers. However my mother and I wanted a change. I had the potential so I knew I had to go somewhere else to get a better education and I did. I then transferred to a different school where they were all about educating the students and helping students better themselves. I feel that education can just go back to the old waysthen we would have much more educated men and women.A social gathering is where people should come together hoping to reconnect with old friends and family members or possibly make new friends. However, things are totally different now. People are set in their ways, they do not want to meet new people or they are holding grudges from the past. Technology and electronic devices could also come in to play with this subject because people are often too busy on their phones than interacting with others. People lack communication skills because they choose not to get out and socialize.Many things would be different in today's generation if we could just take away some things that has been holding this generation back. If people would limit the amount of time they spend on their electronic devices the world would have much more educated human beings. Also, if we could bring back homework and tutoring sessions into schools and homes this would also help make a difference. Lastly, people should communicate more with each other the world would be a totally better place.Article Source:http://EzineArticles.com/expert/Alexes_B_Thigpen/2292202
