                                  New Technology: The damage in our teenagers

Based on a video from 2007, which was called "Did you know 2.0?", mentioned that 21-year-olds have whichever sent or received up to 250,000 emails or instantaneous. It also mentioned how many hours had they had watched TV’s and or played video games. Those hours were above the 10,000. These numbers are alarming and it was the figures for 10 years ago. I don’t want to imagine those numbers now and days. If we compare that era with the 80’s we can see a huge difference. During the 80’s there was the Cold War, Steve Miller Band... pointless to say the 80s were in many ways a shadowy age of human memoir. There were no smartphones. This pocket companion has changed our lives is immeasurable. They used to make phone calls inside a phone booth. Now we use a cell phone and we don’t even talk anymore, we just send a text.

If you wanted to take pictures, you had to carry around a bulky camera everywhere. You will almost look like a tourist. To develop those pictures, and share them was very tedious. Too many trips to the store, and to many sets of the film were developed to do so. Now, we just share it thru Facebook, Instagram, Text message, etc. What else I can include to this, playing board games with family and friends was always fun. It still is and a lot of people still do them. But we can’t deny that a lot of the 20’s years old today prefer to play a video game from their computer, gaming console or even their cellphone and they don’t need to leave their bed. We used to listen to messages when we go home inside an answering machine, now you check your email or voicemail on your smartphone. We had lost a majority of our communication to developed moral values. We barely call, see, interact with family or friends, I visualize that the tradition is long gone.
