The main reason most people in past generations don’t like the Millennial generation is that they are addicted to technology, but is that really the problem. If technology was making the Millennials intelligence decline than the science scores would be declining.

In my mind I think this logic is ridiculous although it has become imbedded in society. I feel grateful that I have become aware of these seller tactics that way I do not follow these corporate schemes which are all about money. Through enough personal experiences I have my own views that these outlets of entertainment have improved some aspects of modern day relationships but not all.

When I think about the question of technology and the ability it has to make us feel “alone”, I think about myself, my family and my friends.
