Generation Gap

In today's generation, life is based on technology. Texting, e-mails, facebook, myspace, iPhones: without our vast array of communication we are lost.

Every morning when I wake up the first thing I do is check my phone for any missed calls, texts, or voice mails. Then I turn on the radio. And before I leave to go anywhere I have to check my facebook, duh.



Generation Y thrives on modern technology. But is it a good thing or a bad thing? Earlier generations would say it's a bad thing. But me? I would say it's a good thing, in moderation.

I believe that when other generations say that the Millennials have the upper hand they are right. We know what we want for the most part, and we do our best to get it. We are motivated and won't take no for an answer. This possibly comes from our upbringing. Our parents pushed us as kids to be the best that we can be. Today, anyone can do anything; we have no limitations, as there were during the baby boomer's prime. Women are equally accepted in the workplace and the race issues that once existed are diminishing. Our generation is expected to do many great things and I have confidence that we will prosper.

As for advice to older generations, just keep up to date! Our lifestyles are upbeat and are constantly changing.
