New Generation
XXI century. The world changes fast. New technologies, new tendencies, new prospective. We are all changing. Can You imagine Your life, for instance, without cell-phones or the Internet? Probably, no. However, it was only a few decades ago when there were no of those things. And people could build their lives, their business and communication without it. There were no computers only 40 years ago!
Today we live in the world of globalization. Cultures mix up, character of an individual changes, our goals and dreams get on the new level. I, personally, can say that everything has changed even comparing to the days of the childhood of my generation. For example, we used to play in the yard together with other kids; we used to go outside daily; we could spend all days long in the street playing, communicating and being active all the time. Now it is changing. I feel so sorry about all the children of contemporary, who spend their early years in front of the blue screens, in front of the "goggle-boxes" and with the cell-phones in their hands.
Technology... A helper or an enemy? It is a very questionable issue. Yes, it makes our lives easier. Yes, it gives us more time to spare. Yes, it relaxes us in some way. However, all this easiness - is it really good and helpful to humanity as a specie? Does not it make us less intelligent and smart as the creatures by giving us an opportunity to do everything instead of us? And, all in all, does not the development of media and tech stop the development of human society, personal individuality and creativity? Does not it stop the process of identifying of ourselves? Probably, it does. This way, what is this all leading to? The new generation which loses the ability to analyze the things, the ability to create. Not everyone, of course, only those masses of people who may continue let the technological progress interrupt the process of their own progress.
So, what will happen to the Earth in just a couple next decades? No one can say for sure. Although, some futurologists try to foresee our future. They claim, that people may come to the process of degradation if they do not change the situation right now. Reading books, developing our creative skills, communicating with each other and studying - these all can save us. We should just find the perspective and go on. All we need is progress. Intellectual progress of the nation, progress of our minds and souls.
