How has new technology changed the kids/teenagers of today? (compared to 20 years ago or so). Also do any of you know of any links to articles which discuse the impacts of all the new technology on kids?
Speaking as a college student, I'd say, first and foremost, technology has made us impatient. The internet provides instant gratification and we've become used to it.
I grew up next to a farm that I helped at, so I know a little bit about hard work and real life, but most of my peers are pretty spoiled. Maybe spoiled is the wrong word, but basically, we're not self reliant. In general, we're pretty disconnected from anythig in the natural world and I think we rely on technology too much.
