Issue Presented

Advancement in technology has helped improved the way we live as individuals by making responsibilities and tasks easier. With a click of a button we are able to order food, transfer money and even get ourselves a personal driver, Uber. We are able to collect information by surfing the web and are able to retrieve numerous amount data. Technology has changed the way we preform, it has given us the ability to cut time and accomplish more. All of the following factors are great except for one thing, our future generation. In the era we live in today, we rely heavily on technology preforming for us. Is the new generating of the world going to lack the fundamental logistics of life?

Why it is interesting?

The thought of the new generation not being able to change a flat tire scares me. The topic interests me due to the amount of people I know now not being able to perform simple tasks. If we are heavily invested in technology now, imagine the new generation. Kids now a days are able to fully understand a certain topic at an age where they should be watching Curious George. The innocence of youth and development is completely diminished due to technology. This idea puts a dramatic concern for the future.

Why is the issue important at this time?

The issue is important at this time due to our ability to inform and educate the parents on how to raise the new generation. It is not too late. We as a community can work as a whole to teach kids how to develop a healthy life fundamental. As we keep on advancing, we can also regulate technology to a certain extant for the new generation so they understand how things work.
