Does My Generation Have A Role In America's Future
Brittany Clemens
Voice of Democracy
1 November 2010 Does My Generation Have a Role in Americas Future? My generation does not have a role in America’s future, we are the future. The world is rapidly changing. Technology is outsmarting us. The military is weakening and my generation needs to step up. The government and economy is in our hands. My generation has many duties and jobs to perform. As the next generation we are learning from the past and conquering the future. Every year it seems like companies come out with bigger and better cell phones, computers, cars, and iPods. Just when you thought you had the best, something better comes out. This is because technology has advanced since past generations. As the future generation, we have the role of creating bigger and better things. Since technology is advancing, our education also has to advance. Our grandparent’s idea of a computer was a lead pencil and a notebook. In the future our school list is going to consist of laptops. My generation is so much more complex. We have to learn how to use new technology, otherwise it is pointless. Our minds and thinking have to be able to

Our elders can not work forever. We are the future teachers, doctors, lawyers, factory workers, truck drivers, etc. We are the manpower of the future. We are the future farmers of America. It is our duty to take over family farms and keep the crops going so that we can keep American stomachs full. Agriculture is what I consider my biggest role I can play in America’s future. We have to keep working without jobs nothing would go on. Without jobs we will have no future role to play. Not only will we not have a future but we are setting the stepping stones for future generations, so we have to think not only of ourselves but the future generations. We have clear a path so that they can keep going, when my generation is no longer here to do

    Technology has been around humans since the cavemen days, but it undoubtedly took a huge turn in with the completion of the first ever computer. It has been nearly eighty years since then, and we have evolved even more, creating virtual reality simulations and touch screen tablets, in addition, we have access to literally anything with the internet. However, there is a strong argument from previous generations that this generation is becoming “dumber” due to the easy access and overreliance on technology for education, leading us to wonder whether technology is truly benefiting or harming this generation’s intelligence. While the author Mark Bauerlain believes that the arrival of technology has affected the way millennials think, making them “dumber”, technology has rather provided for us a more approachable, time-saving, and broader range of knowledge…

    The main point of the article “A Generation of Slackers?Not So Much” by Catherine Rampell explains how this generation isn’t full of slackers. Although Baby Boomers, those who were born between the years of 1946 and 1964 have said that this generation is full of lazy and entitled individuals; this article will prove them wrong. This article will teach you about today’s generation of hard working, successful individuals and show with evidence that we are not lazy or slackers and that we can do just as much work as the other generations of youth.…

    Compared to the technology we possessed before 1980, Our technology today is significantly more advanced and it is only the beginning. As the use of technology has increased dramatically in our everyday life many argue that it can be very useful, but others can say that technology only seems to be affecting the way Millennials think and process information. Mark Bauerlein is a prime example of this way of thinking, he declares that all of those under 30 years of age, also known as the Millennials, constitute the dumbest generation of modern history; and technology is the main culprit.…

    In today’s modern world, technology has been the most popular and relevant commodity this generation has to offer. We have become equipped and dependent on computers, television, cellphones, and many more devices for entertainment and education. While a mass amount of people see technology as helpful in means of improving education, there are others who see differently. Many people throughout the years have been on the contrary about technology and what is has to offer to this generation.

    It is very apparent that today’s generation has changed greatly since generation of the “baby boomers”. Children in the current generation are coming into a completely different world than it was just 30 years ago. From almost every kid owning a cell phone, televisions being flat, and social networking, it is obvious this isn’t the same world that our grandparents, and even our parents were raised in. Looking back at the generation of the “baby boomers”, it’s hard to even imagine what life would have been like. The “boomers” grew up in a time of where war was an occurring thing, from World War I, World War II, and even the war in Vietnam. They grew up in the time of the great depression, where bread lines and soup kitchens were a part of many families’ lives. Even technology was far from what it is today. Families were lucky to have one television in their house, people actually used land-line telephones, and a person having a cell phone was unlikely. The book Generation Me does a great job of pointing out any difference between the “boomer” generation, and generation “me”. From the way kids are taught in school, the way kids treat other people, and even the attitude about one’s self has completely changed. The author, Jean M. Twenge, Ph.D., notices every minor change that has occurred between the two generations, and comprised a book that will have you noticing things about yourself that you may have never noticed before.…

    Most of the gifts that we’ve grown up with and couldn't live without are thanks to the generations before us.

    When the computer made its first appearance in America, it was about the size of a room and not many people had access or any knowledge on how it is used. Today, technology has advanced to the point that everything can be accessed by a cell phone the size of a deck of cards, or even smaller. Technology has become an amazing way to connect to information and people that would otherwise be unavailable, but has it taken over? If technology comes to an abrupt stop and crashes will the nation know what to do? Have they become too used to the aspect of having the world at such an easy grasp that they’ve forgotten how to live without it? Kids are inside delving into fantasy worlds by means of video games, and online networking cites such as Facebook instead of going outside and enjoying sports and adventuring with friends. Technology is allowing society to lose sight of reality, and although the means of receiving technology are now smaller than ever, technology itself has become a giant that needs to be stopped.…

    The evolution of technology, made our lives easier and faster than before. Talking about the two distinct generations, like those born before the digital era and those from the digital era. Even today, the use of old media like newspapers, television, etc. is pretty evident among both the generations, but younger ones are more leaned towards the use of new media like the use of smart phones, IPad’s and Laptops, as it helps them multitask. Thinking of the older generations, i.e. grandparents and their time, they did not support new media as much as younger generations do it today. According to grandparents, studying from books, reading, and writing with pen and paper is the right way of studying. Using new media like IPad’s, laptop and smartphone,…

    Technological progress is something that continues to develop with the world. From the steamboat, to the printing press, to the first computer, technology is progress. However, it may not be the progress that this world needs. The world needs more leaders, people who can stand up for what’s right. Yet as technology progresses all we get is more gamers, social media addicts, and people over-involved in a texting conversation. Although this country seems to be making steps towards progress we continue to digress. Because of technology people are getting dumber, not smarter as a result. People no longer need to read the newspaper to find out the news, all they have to do is check their “news feed.”…

    “Technology has advanced more in the last thirty years than in the previous two thousand. The exponential increase in advancement will only continue. Anthropological Commentary: The opposite of a trivial truth is false; the opposite of a great truth is also true.” - Niels Bohr. The truth is as the time passes by, technology advancement increases.
