When we talk about when we were younger we think about all the Disney movies we grew up with or our favorite TV show we grew up watching everyday. We would always talk about the newest episode of Hannah Montana with our friends or dress up as the characters of our favorite characters in movies for Halloween. And, now that we are teenagers we act a certain way for social media and take time out of our day to watch our favorite Youtubers and wish we had their life. We even do 90% percent of our homework either on the computer or using information from the computer. It has come to the point that without technology we have nothing to do. Our parents even take it away as punishment because they know how much we rely on it. This all shows that we have used technology so much that it has taken over the way we live and grow up. It has created major differences in the way we live our lives in this generation and has started to become more of a necessity then a luxury. In some schools like Christian Brothers almost all of their schooling is done on an iPad. Because of technology it has completely changed the way wee have grown up.
It has now become extremely obvious that there are large differences in the childhood that my parents had compared to me. The reason behind this is technology. Like you said, our generation has grown up in a society that becomes more and more reliant on technology as the days pass. Although there are some positive aspects to this, there are also prevalent negative aspects to the increasing amount of technology as well.
