HERstory 12

In my childhood TV was big.. the programs.. Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Courtship of Eddies father, Speed Racer and Kimba were the highlights of the day...




But at night: The love boat and Fantasy Island were the ones people talked about in homeroom.
( there is no such thing as home room anymore as well )



Now I don't see that in youngin's .... they tend to be more addicted to music and all its attachments. They can watch what ever they want , whenever they want alleviating the need to sit down and watch a program together. Not to answer the phone or the front door. Eat your dinner and watch the show.

I have even noticed in movie theaters the little bastards continue to run their lives via texting during a movie....

I just want to watch the stinkin' program! I am all for technological progress...but what is wrong with a little down time?

I COMPLETELY FREAKIN AGREE! This world has become completely freakin technologically dependent its ridiculous, I hate how everyone walks around with an I-pod in their ears, while they are texting someone and talking on their second cell fone, its become a lot more impersonal I think, where the heck is quality time?

Ya i agree too, although i am apart of this greneration, technology has become a big part of young adults now, its like the only thing that keeps them entertained. I walk in to my classes each day and i see everyone take out their cells, or a person on a laptop, someone with an ipod on. I mean even the younger kids, pretty much all their toys are electronics, not just barbies anymore or power rangers, haha. It's taking over our society, but what can we do, we are evolving.

evolving? or digressing in social skills?

Question... maybe social skills aren't as important anymore with this new "evolving."

that makes me a dinosaur as I love to utilize my "social skills."

Vince said...

YES, no more social skills, i agree for sure...people would rather text each other than talk on the fone, its funny, people call themselves outgoing, but wont talk to you on the fone

Amanda said...

who are you to talk vince, you text mom all the time rather than call her!! wats up with that!!??

Amanda said...

I mean there is nothing you can do though, because they are just going to keep inventing more and more new tecnologies, which means peoples social skills ARE digressing, like you said. But we are evolving, as in growing, learing to make new things, but only in that aspect, not with social skills. I hope that made made sense, it does to me and thats all that matters!

lol, i know i am not one to talk, but i am talking about the people that think of themselves as all social and everything, but they can't talk to you on the fone
