I have two very different opinions on my generation:
1) We rely on technology more than anyone has even seen before, we can be bloody selfish, we are concerned with nothing but being bigger and better than before, we are avid swearers, we have not learnt fully how to appreciate small things like playing in the garden rather than playing on a computer, we are ruining many old-fashioned ways that are better as they were.
2) Our technology use is improving health care, education, job production and us moving forward as humanity. We are not selfish, but rather concerned with the impact things will have on us, I personally did still have play dates and used to spend days playing our in my "fairy gardens" or swimming or baking mudpies, etc.... however less so, I imagine that older generations, we are just different, maybe not in a bad way?
Just to clear up, I was born in 1995, so am part of that generation and I actually think more better than worse of my generation because I think we, specifically have seen enough of the old and new (technology) to use the balance sufficiently. But, looking at my two younger siblings born in this century, I see that they are completely different. I mean my siblings are 9 and 11 and already have cellphones, computers, Wii, Playstation, Ipads, Laptops, iPod touches, DVDs and TVs, I mean come on... not to mention that my 11 year old brother already has Twitter, Instagram, Snap Chat, Bbm, Whatsapp, Facebook (very soon) and Qooh (whatever that is?!) I mean call me "old-fashioned" but I got my first phone (which was old and crap) in grade 6 and back then the only social media I had was good old Mxit and Facebook in grade 8.
