The young people these days have things easy: answers to homework and mini-research papers are just a click of the mouse button away. They can put music in their music players and watch movies online without having to pay for these things. They can even do online shopping and look for new restaurants or specialty shops like which store has the best ipod cases even without stepping out of their homes.
The convenience technology has brought the young people can make them do great things or do otherwise.
Learning about new things is now a breeze, as long as the sources of information are legit and not suspect. Homework answers can be had with a click of a button. They can improve on what’s already existing and help others who do not have access to so much information and knowledge. Baking and cooking has been easy with the internet. People who mattered most to you but you somehow lost touched are now just a click away in Facebook or in Twitter (and now Google+).
Technology, on the other hand, make the young people lazy. They are too lazy to do any research from scratch because everything they need can be easily copied and pasted, even if the information they got were incorrect or unverified. They get photos from the web and say it’s theirs. Hah.
Sometimes I wonder what will become of these young people who spend more time doing things virtually than spending time in the “real world”.
