100 – Today’s youth is different from previous generations

It is a fact that how do we live our youth now is really different from how was it lived
before. The society has changed a lot. We just need to think about how technology has
affected to the way we act. We life in an age where many of us has at least a TV or
mobile phone or a computer. Each of these has made the human being remake its
relations with the others.
It is generally considered that this new generation is more self-centred than it used to be
before. Firstly, we are constantly worried about how many messages have we received
per minute. The more we have, the better we feel. Whereas in the past, as there were no
electronic devices to communicate, you need to go and find the person you wanted to
talk to. So that act means that you were really into that person.
Another factor to consider is that we need constant stimulation. But in this case, the
necessity has been created by the evolution. Because as we can experiment now, we
have to spend many days at home doing the same. Some has noticed that we do not need
so much stimulation and we are happy this way too. This can resemble to the past
situations where the most you have to do was working until the sun goes down and then
stay home.
On balance, I tend to believe that we, as a society, are not the same as we used to, and
that is a fact. Nowadays, we live a life more stressed. Consequently, we do not have
time to ourselves, so we want the others to worry about us. Moreover, this lifestyle keep
as anxious so we think we need constantly stimulation to calm that anxiety.
