Our Generation Versus Their Generation

Thanh Vo, Guest Writer

Oh, look what we have! Smartphones, computers, televisions and so forth. What did they have? Back in the 1950’s or before that, there was very little technology.

Technology is what makes up the modern generation. People have longer lives due to better medicine. There are also new ways of spending your time. Children or teenagers stay at home, playing video games all day, which is one of the negative impacts from technology. One of the positives is that our lifestyles have been getting easier and our lives have been extended.

The older generation invented many important things that have evolved into what it is today. For example, they made cars and phones.

Back then, studies about diseases were not enough. Now the improved medicine has increased life expectancy. Our population today is increasing rapidly from the 1900’s. Scientists are afraid of overpopulation and the imbalances of resources in the world.

Which generation would you rather  live in?
