From then until now (Blog 4)
For this blog post we were challenged with interviewing three people who were 35 years or older and gather their view on technology and also gather some similarities and differences between their time and our time. I interviewed my two grandparents on my mothers side, my grandfather who is 67, and my grandmother who is 65. They both talked about how todays youth is lazy and too dependent on technology and used the phrase "We never had that back in the day". The third person I interviewed was my grandfather on my dads side, who is 95. He didn't really have much to say about technology other than it makes things too easy for everyone he said "I had to work for everything I got, I didn't have no damn computer to tell me how to do it either." They all talked about how its making children lazy and that it was nothing like they grew up. The most high tech thing they had were radios and playing outside.

My grandmother who is 97 said the exact same thing about how children are becoming so lazy and how she had to work to get something done instead of a click of the button. She's always talking to me about, why I spend so much time on the computer and It's hard for her to understand how much work in society today is computer based like Moodle is here at Juniata.
ReplyDeleteI can agree with all three of the people you interviewed. They are all at least 3 times my age and I feel the same way. Children growing up today are lazy. They get everything handed to them. That is why older people can appreciate what they have because they worked for it. They put in the time to know that, "yeah I worked and busted my butt for this and it paid off for me paying with my own money." I was raised by parents that made you work for what you got. I am so thankful for that.
