I don't really know what my blog is going to be about
yet, but I found this article pretty interesting so my first blog post for this
blog is going to be my response to this article called "Reconsidering
Millennials: They're Not That Different From You" by Meghan M. Biro.
So in the article, Biro basically talks about how the older
generation needs to stop bashing the millennial generation and learn to accept
us for who we are because in essence, we're really not that different from
any other generation; we are just more technologically advanced. Millennials
are constantly misunderstood and deemed as the lazy and narcissistic generation, but that is just not true.
Millennials simply do things a little differently from older generations
because we now live in a time where technology is constantly improving and
growing, and so naturally we are drawn to our phones, computers, and social
media because these things are impossible to avoid in our society today. Many
older people believe that technology serves as a distraction and causes us to
be lazy and self obsessed, but in reality technology is changing our lives for
the better. Technology allows us to be better connected and more efficient. It
also makes us great multitaskers because we can do multiple things at once and keep
up with it. In the article, Biro talks about how technology has improved
communication in that we went from snail mail, to telephone, to voicemails, to
emails, and finally to text. Due to technology, communication improved
drastically and has become easier and easier and also a whole lot faster.
Thus, the older generation needs to stop criticizing millennials and our lifestyle
and just learn to be open minded because we are not going to stop using our
phones and the technology we have. Technology is only going to improve and continue to grow,
and thus, older generations need to
reconsider their stereotypes of millennials because we are the next generation.
