useless article

Yeah, things change. Wow, that's news.

Is this the author's first-ever work or something?

Keep trying, some day you may write something that's actually
worth reading.

Wasn't all that bad!

Hey

At least the author was kinda cute! :-)

Great Article

Neha,

I'm about 1 generation ahead of you and have noticed this as well. It's amazing to see how technology is interwoven into young peoples lives now. I've always been tech driven and known to having the first of everything, but I never imagined that everyone would be like this. In a few years, it will be status quo to have all of this stuff!

Ignore the jack a%% that said this article was useless. They certainly aren't interested in social economics and change. Keep up the great work!

nice article

I'm either getting older, or tech changes are accelerating. Or both.
Insightful article.

Kids have too much time in their hands?

Nice article. My question is: do these kids have too much time in their hands, where they constantly distract themselves from the primary tasks, whether it is driving, listen to lectures, doing homework, etc etc? I do not believe they are multitasking, per se, but more on constantly being spun out of reality by the use of technology for leisurely pursues. May be this is more of a reaction from the Terror War and the other negative aspects in our current global newsfront...

Oh please....

If someone who graduated a year ago stresses about the
youngsters behind her having better gadgets, grow up.

Yes, I believe tech has isolated a lot of younger people, the kids
now have a circle of friends they only chat with, be it on the
internet, cell phone, etc. If you are not in that circle, you are
'unworthy' of respect. How many teenagers do you see now with
absolutely no face-to-face social skills?

I graduated in 1987, and guess what? Tech got better and
better. This article read like a college grad longing for the
'good-old days' of college party life.

I wish I could get paid to write fluff like this.

I feel old now

People complaining about the article missed the point entirely, that tech is changing our lives, even in the space of just a few years you can see different dynamics. I graduated in the early 90's and pretty much no one had cell phones or laptops. I don't know if its all progress or not, but saving paper is at least one good thing that is coming out of this change.

Keep the news coming I like your stuff!

When I went to college, some people still had typewriters!
