Technology
Through the Ages
Each
generation has its fads whether it be television shows or games that have
become part of that generations history.
Some generations grow up with lots of technology while others don’t
really use any. The younger
generation of today is growing up pretty much from the start with technology in
hand. You have kids in the fifth
grade walking around with cell phones and Ipads in some cases even. At the same time there are those people
such as our grandparents and parents who did not grow up with this technology
some embracing while others trying as hard as possible to stick in the
past. Through this blog I plan to
take a deeper look into how each generation treats our current technological
boom.
Now
a day you can log into Facebook and perhaps see a friend request from someone
such as your friend’s parent, some random person from class, or perhaps even
your grandparent. For many people
this could be seen as a nightmare while for others this is just becoming a
common thing. Some children could
even technically be seen to grow up through Facebook having gotten it at such a
young age. Looking into how each
age group is reacting and providing some exceptions to these cases can make for
interesting results.
As
a preview I want to speak to people such as my 80-year-old grandfather who is
obsessed with his Ipad and loves to mention something that happened on Facebook
almost every time I see him. My 26
year-old cousin who seems to have grown up just after the cell phone boom and
cannot respond to a text to save his life. There is also my 50 year old co-worker who refuses to
have a cell phone, hates the
internet, and is still resisting
cable television. Also my 16
year-old brother who has been an avid Facebook user for years and has had a
cell phone since the eighth grade.
Taking a look into how each of these people perceive the technology boom
will help to provide an interesting perception on how technology is effecting
all generations in different ways.
