The Technological Generation

While I was growing up my friends and I would play marbles in the dirt or pogs on the sidewalk, but nowadays when I walk around my neighborhood I see young kids texting and playing on ipads.  Technology is becoming increasingly integrated into everyday life not just for us but also for our children.  There are many who claim that future generations will suffer from being constantly plugged in from such an early age, but there are many skills that will be fostered by having so much technology tightly integrated with everyday life.  Because children are being introduced to technology at an increasingly younger age, our children are becomming more and more tech savy.  The younger generations are learning to understand and use technology which is an invaluable skill in the world today.
