What Really Happened In This Generation?

It is really amazing to see what happened so far in this generation. Today, we have everything we ever wanted with the help of science and technology. Science and technology completely changed the way we function everyday. We have different kinds of drugs and medicine that saves a lot of people everyday. We have amazing electronics and devices that can do anything with your control. We also have media technology where we are connected to everyone around the world.
