A lot of adults make comments about our generation, and how corrupt we are. A lot of things they say are relatively true, but they also have some misconceptions.
Parents claim that we are becoming less social, since cell phone popularity has increased so much. But really, kids are being more social, because they can contact each other easily. Instead of walking around the town for an hour trying to find your friends, you just type a few words and there ya go! Teens make new friends online all the time with social networks and chat rooms. (Although, doing that does put kids at a higher risk of meeting predators...)
Studies are also saying that more kids are becoming obese. They accuse television and fast food restaurants. I agree with those studies, because you see more and more kids now a days who are overweight. They're getting consumed in all of the new technology that is invented, they don't care about exercising or staying healthy. TV displays a lot of incriminating shows that teach influence kids on what is right and wrong. People are right when they say our generation is corrupt and unmotivated. I work at McDonald's, and I notice a lot of people who come in more than twice a week. Even parents bring their kids in multiple times a week. That obviously can't be healthy for them.
So in conclusion... Some things have changed from our parents generation to ours, but they're not all bad... It's what separates us as individuals from our parents.

I totally agree with you, we are way more social now it takes pretty much nothing to talk to somebody either texting them or talking on facebook. either way we are talking way more than when we had to use landlines or wait till school.
