Difference Between My Generation And My Generations

Starting from waking up in 1901 kids had to be waken up by there parents but now kids are waken up with alarm clocks, In 1901 every kid had to walk to there towns main school but in 2017 kids either drive or take the bus to school also there are more options of schools kids can go to nowadays, next is the school in 1901 there was only one teacher, all ages, and one class room, and they had to use chalkboards four hour days also only fifty-one percent of kids were enrolled in schools, but now in 2017 there are multiple grade levels, smart technology, tablets, and seven hour days but now eighty percent of kids are enrolled in schools Besides school technology changed the way we do things from 1901 for example technology

As students, freshmen come into high school knowing that they are hated by every upperclassmen in the school, with the exception of some friends and possibly family. The freshmen don’t understand why they are disliked, and most of the upperclassmen can’t tell you why they despise the freshmen, except for some unproved responses such as: “They’re annoying”, or “They’re so immature”. This sequence occurs every year. As the freshmen turn into upperclassmen, they too develop a hate for the incoming freshmen. This relationship is common on a larger scale as well; older generations view the younger generations as annoying, dumb, and immature. Dealing with three generations today, we have the omniscient Baby Boomers (1946-1964), impious

Kids of this generation have many influences today that we didn’t have around when I was growing up. When I was growing up there was no social media and all this technology that our kids have

Close your eyes, Now imagine the world without all the technology we have today. Hard to imagine right? Anyone born in the Twenty-first century has grown to know modern technology. From the printing press to the iPhone 7, We have all used and grown accustomed to the benefits of modern technology.

In “Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation?” written by, the Psychology Doctor, Jean M. Twenge, she presents the results produced after twenty-five years of research (Twenge para3). Her research was carried out to understand the new generation and explain how it differs to the previous generations (Twenge para9). Although her style is indeed formal, she utilized a heavy amount of credentials, logos, emotional appeal and a factual tone, to enforces her appeal on the parents of the kids of this new generation. Furthermore, she underlays her stand on the topic throughout her analysis, rather than having a direct approach and states actual percentages to compare previous generations to the new one, which leads to a sense of validity. It is not until the very end, that she finally states her stand in a more direct sense, since she has now gained the trust of her audience.

Technology in our society and all over the world has advanced tremendously through the years. If a person wanted to talk to someone other than face-to-face they would have to write a letter and mail it to that person. That was the only way people could really communicate with one another. They did not have a telephone, a computer or anything like we do now. In the 1990’s you did not see people walking down the street texting on their cell phones or getting on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. The only way people could get information was through the newspapers or by socializing with other people. There have been many changes since then. The effects of technology influence the way people think and act in our society.

New technology is going to be added everyday and it is only going to keep moving forward. If technology is moving forward shouldn't we aspire for our children to move forward as well and have a firm grasp on technology and not fall behind. Technology is being implied upon every professional field therefore we need to start preparing the younger generations coming up for this widespread of technology. This would be teaching the younger ages more about real life situations

Likewise, I agree with Carr that technology has changed the way that we function and do things. For example, now days we have become so accustom to getting our information fast and to the point. Causing us to become lazy readers and just want a summary. We have also changed the way we do research instead of going to the library we go to google. In addition, we want everything to be easy and accessible.

Technology when I was growing up affected such a small part of our daily lives. We had 1 channel on our TV and only watched it as a family

From cars, cell phones, computers and much more, it is quite amazing how far technology has come. In the baby boom generation, the technology available were house phones, radios, cars, and much more that we still have today. By the time the millennial generation came around technology made those things even more advanced and new products were created. During the millennial period, things like laptops and portable, small cell phones were invented. It is very common for every household to own more than one electronic device but in the baby boom generation, those things might have been hard to afford with the crashing

Although I find that true, I still like reading a newspaper the old fashioned way, I like to hand write my notes and homework, read actual books, and go see a movie at the movie theater. Because of technology, our social relationships have changed dramatically. We'd rather text than actually talk to someone. There are people who could be in the same house or even room and text each other, instead of getting up to talk that person. We've become very complacent over time, as well as lazy. We are constantly trying to find ways to make tasks easier. This causes the world to be less of problem

Being born in the 80's. I have seen the difference in technology then and now. I believe now children are more lazy then back in my time because of the growth of technology. But, I can say learning has been easier. You can easily log on your desk-top, lap-top, tablet, or even smart phone to find an answer to the exact question you have. Locate a book; to where to its being sold, or even a audio book. Find creative projects, and activities when your bored.

I am Nigerian but I grew up living in England between the ages of 9 and 18. My parents were born and raised in Nigeria. My mother lives in England and my father in Nigeria. Growing up, my parents encouraged me and my siblings to study hard in respected professions (Law, Engineering and Medicine), so we can be independent and be able to take care of ourselves. My mother feels education for girls and women is important as it ensures they are treated with respect. My father on the other hand wanted his daughters and son to get an education and be independent so that we can live comfortably as he does, and not have to rely on others.

Anyone who is familiar with our generation knows that our generation is extremely different from our parents’ generation. Thus, creates a gap between the two generations, and has been acknowledged by many sociologists. Aside from today’s young people inability to accomplish the millstones of becoming an adult, there is lot more differences between this generation and the older generation. Therefore, in this essay, I will be comparing and contrasting both generations. From how their career expectations are different, what was their definition of happiness, and how their parents played a role on making their dream or expectation turn into reality?

Growing up, I was always around somewhat up to date technological appliances, as my grandfather was very keen on always having what's new and exciting at the time. That idea also followed me in my own home, where my parents had computers and
