Pros And Cons Of Igeneration
Renee Wilson discuss in the defense of the current generation which is deeply

involved in the gadget world. Ultimately Renee claims that “iGen” generation is in ahead

of every other generation and lead their own way for their future.

After 3 years of being a college professor a highly discussed magazine “Lament for the

iGeneration” by Gregory Levey was published and Renee interpreted it as they are in

the hands of next generation. After 7 years of teaching she hate to give a speech on

switching off the phone and pay attention to class but she is also scared students might

not get the main part of lesson if they stayed in their phone. She also says that

“iGeneration multi-task very well and that the cynicism surrounding the iGeneration

All crazy attachment of tech is messing with ‘social’ part of their

brain. Renee conclude that “tech attached brain studies and commentaries reach are

overwhelmingly scary”. Gary Small in “iBrain: Surviving the technological alteration of

the modern mind” conclude that “Beside influencing how we think, digital tech is

alternating how we feel, we behave and the way our brain function”. Which he co-wrote

with his wife in 2008 “As the brain evolves and shifts its focus toward new technological

skills, it drifts away from fundamental social skills, such as reading facial expression

during a conversation or grasping emotional context during a subtle gesture”.

iGeneration techno brains are turning people into socially inept robots but on the other

hand there are studies that shows that they are fantastic collaborators and fearless

about pushing buttons- literally and figuratively.

“This generation is known for its innovation and creativity”, “iGeneration doesn’t get

stuck in the old gen’s static world” says Kovary. iGeneratin looks for the next best

update, they’ve assumed that there is no need to wait until things are perfect,

    This quote relates to it, as it says, “In the past people used technology as a tool for making survival an easier endeavor. Nowadays we are witnessing a shift in the role technology is playing in our society and may continue to play for generations to come. In the modern-day world technology is no longer a tool for survival but it turned to a means of communication and entertainment. Mass communication technology has made it easier than ever to connect with people. At the same time this raises the concern of whether technology has a good or bad influence on our society, is the use of technology destroying face-to-face interaction and communication between people?”. Technology is used a lot more than necessary and time is going by a lot faster because of all the time spent on…

    1. Noise: Sometimes during classes children can become distracted by noise from within the classroom and from outside (such as another classroom, or people on the hallway). I help to combat this problem by closing the doors and any windows open to the noise, and also by reminding children to work as quietly as possible and raise their hand to speak rather than shout out.…

    Also he says “When someone offers you chocolate cake, you are presented with a dilemma: some parts of your brain have evolved to crave sugar, while others care about potential consequences, such as a bulging belly.” (line 10) So when you see something you like or want part of your brain thinks they really want the sugar and the other part says they shouldn't. And in “Brain secrets” by Cron she says “We recognize a good story just as quickly. It’s something we’ve been able to do since we were about three, and we’ve been addicted to stories in one form or another ever since.” (line 45) “We take a deep breath and pray for Uncle Albert to stop nattering on about his Civil War reenactment.” (Line 43) we think about a bad past and try to move…

    If you are a teacher? Wouldn’t you want your student to listen and not play with their cell phones? If than those students that didn’t listen are not going to pass any test or even get to the point of dropping out. But anyone who listened should be able to pass test and not drop out of school. So do you want your students to listen? Or will they just play with their cell phones. And maybe in a factual condition in the classroom, status if you’re going to let them use their cell phones…

    it depends if that baby boomer is up to par with the technology of today. If they can use the tools to communicate such as texting, then yeah. My kid doesn't call unless it's a urgent emergency. He will text throughout the day regularly tho. What is funny, is the fact that baby boomers can pretend to not be tech savvy and get away with it.…

    “In the past decade scientists have learned to read the brain’s functioning to the point where they can now read (and recreate) thoughts and even dreams and imaginings directly from the brain; use the brain to directly control computers, and anything computers can control—including prosthetics (and even have these prosthetics send sensations back to the brain); implant and remove simple memories in the brain; create primitive versions of artificial brain structures; and also unravel at least some of the mysteries of mental illness and disease,” ("#54.

    Avoid distractions when you are in class. Sure, it may be tempting to send a text or write a note in class, but by becoming distracted, you are not going to learn. You can prevent distractions by limiting what you bring to class with you; for instance, leave your cell phone in your dorm.…

    This is the generation of a technological revolution. Just like our ancestors witnessed the spread of the industrial revolution, we are experiencing parallel advances in society today. Technology increases the speed of access to information, which we have at our disposal. Through the advances of technology, the venues in which we have to communicate are almost unlimited. All ranges and ages of individuals can be found using cell phones, ATMs, computers and TV's. We have grown to rely on the microwave, the Internet, E-Z Pass, just as we did the automobile. Satellite images, Global Positioning Systems, wireless networks, and i-pods are just some of the features in our society, today. More sophisticated versions of advanced devices, are currently permeating into our…

    With the discovery of DNA and unravelling the genetic code it contains, molecular biologists have finally come close to understanding what determines the form and function of organisms and can use this to design organisms at will. This is illustrated by the experiments on the transgenic fruit fly which has eyes on its antennae (Walter Gehring, Basel Biocentre, Switzerland. see the year 1994 in http://www.ifgene.org/history.htm ). This new technology will have more benefits for human existence than all the past technologies put together. |Scientists are no closer to understanding what determines the form and function of a living organism than they were a century ago before the term gene was coined. As Craig Venter, a leader in the Human Genome Project put it: "We know shit about biology". Scientists have tended to concentrate on physical causality -- genes determine form and function -- but they are looking in the wrong place. Genes and their proper expression as structural, regulatory or enzymic proteins are merely one of the necessary conditions for the idea underlying an organism to manifest. The essence of the organism is its entelechy or telos. Other necessary conditions for an organism to manifest include nutrient, water, warmth, light and many other factors to do with the earth as a planet in a cosmos. The optimistic predictions of the molecular biologists and genetic engineers is reminiscent of those offered by the early proponents of nuclear power. In the 1950s, electricity was forecast to become too cheap to make it worth metering, but the reality is that society is left with a legacy of nuclear waste the cost of dealing with which will place an immeasurable burden on future generations.|…
