Technology In The 20th Century

In modern days, Technology was not as popular as it is today. Many things have changed since then which results in either positive or negative behavior. For example, in an article that I read an 80 year old man was interviewed to get an insight on how society was without the fancy technology like today. The older guy experience was definitely different. He stated that life was much simpler, items were much cheaper, and overall he believed his generation was better to grow up in. Just by the example that I provided above shows that every individual has a different insight on which generation is a better society to grow up in.

In today’s society it is likely that most young adults have some knowledge on political parties due to them spending tremendous amount of time with different media sites (Yang, Pg.1). Social media sites are not horrible ideas; It all depends on the way an individual let it affects them. For example in the article, “When your smartphone is too good for your own good”, the article discuss an important factor of the
