Give it to me, now!

Our generation has progressed now to that we expect things to be given to us instantly. They want to just get their stuff done so fast and get on with their life. It is a non desirable trait that we have acquired. So many things have made us become so hasty and needy, such as things being given to us at Google. If we can't find it right away, we are pissed and give up.

All the sociologists that look at our generation are saying the same thing. We just expect everything to be given to us right away. We are taught to be stubborn and corrupted from our own greed and laziness. It is because we are able to be stubborn and corrupted that we exploit this characteristic. Why wait and try very hard to find this information if not in a footnote? Or hey, better yet, skip the main information and just get the study guide, or even just the outline. We can google the details later.

There is not much to say, except we are becoming lazier and lazier. Will it become ever even worse? To what point? I imagine a future in space that we sit on a couch and are never forced to leave it. It is a bright future? Maybe not for our grandparents, but I think it is what our current generation would dream of!

I do not feel a future link this would be so negative though. A world of laziness, a world of instantaneous information, a world of instantaneous life. But that is what our grandparents and parents have lived off of, doing things themselves, and what we would consider the 'hard way'. They say it 'builds character,' yet we say it only 'wastes time'. So yes, I am biased. I am on the team of my generation. It is my generation, and we all feel the same way. I think that we can change nations. I say this because we are ALL lazy together, and we work together to be able to be lazy. Some people may say that laziness is a sin now, but I think that it is becoming more and more of a patron value. That is what our elders feel is terrifying.

Gotta go, I gotta finish my AP US History study guides by using Wikipedia.
