These devices can be used for many different things such as communication, education, transportation, etc. Growing up in the technological era has had a huge impact on our generation. There are many things that I need to do using technology that my parents had grown up learning to do without. Getting in contact with my friends can be as easy as one small text, compared to my parents\u2019 experience of walking to a friend&#8217;s house or using the family landline. When covid shut down school and work offices, my parents explained to me that technology provided us with the means to continue to learn via Zoom, which was something they were never equipped with when they were younger. If this pandemic were to have happened to their generation the students would have missed crucial schooling and the workers would have missed their jobs. This example shows how technology is changing and advancing every day. Since our generation does unfortunately have a huge dependence on technology it makes me wonder how the next generation will behave. With new technological devices constantly being created, the next generation might be able to do certain things we find difficult now, similar to how contacting a friend for me was much different from my parent\u2019s experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technological devices are created in order to make things easier.
