New Generations

When my parents attended school a while back, the technological advances we have today did not exist. There were no computers, no phones, no nooks or kindles. It was a completely different lifestyle than what we live in today. My parents always tell me how they did not have Google to look up answers or solutions to questions. They had to go to libraries and find books on their subjects to solve their questions and do research. When my parents tell me these stories, I usually laugh because they make it seem as though they lived in an ancient time period. But I realized that once I graduate and have children in the future, I will probably be saying almost the same stories to my own children. As generations pass, technology is advancing more and more. Right now I always think to myself, how much more advanced can the world get? But I know for a fact that as the years progress, technology will also. High schools will be following a new form of tradition after years pass. Technology controls everything. Soon enough, students will only need laptops for school and no longer be needing a backpack or textbooks. Students will most probably be interacting with teachers online rather than face to face. Hopefully students will continue reading all the old classical novels, however this may not happen. I feel that as the years pass, the classical novel's significance will lower and schools will no longer require them for students. These technological advances are taking away the full high school experience, but I assume after a while it becomes a normal lifestyle. The future high school students will definitely not have the same experience as we did, just like we did not have the same experience as our parents did.
