Reflection 4

"Is it Age or IT" was an interesting article and very true. The next generation is the future, appreciate or not to appreciate, it is here to live. As to the eight questions, I found myself scratching my head for several different reasons on how I would answer. I still find myself composing most of my written work by using the established way, pen and paper. Why? It helps me with the brain waves going from brain to pen... crazy, I know. I still use the old book technique to store most of my vital information... just a lack of faith and trust in the crashing computers we have today. I do drag my lap top along with me sometimes, but rather grudgingly. I prefer to use my satchel so I know where all needed information can be found with certainty and confidence. Cell phones are only used in emergencies like roadside flat etc. I don’t always feel a need to be connected. To me, it’s a crutch! It seems to be a wasted effort of one’s time. In fact, cell phones going-off in meetings are rather rude and extremely distracting for most people. And it always seems to happen! Engaging in one topic at a time is just good focus and that's what I try to do. In essence, one giant step for man at a time, it’s a virtuous slogan. Focus, focus, and focus more. Video games were great until I found myself totally hooked on the practice. It's much like drugs, hard not to engage in its pleasures and excitements. With the ease of technology and what it brings to the modern table of civilization, I think most will have a mixture of using technology. Especially with the established rituals learned in our past generation, regardless of one's age, from age six to one hundred. Change for our youth comes most easily while with our older generation, it comes with a substantial price. However, change is unvarying in life and it must be looked upon as an investment for human growth at any age and especially when it helps ease life’s hardships. However, in many cases, change is just used to say, "Not Your Way but My Way"!
