Twitter and The News

As much as Chris Anderson sounds like a cocky sob who thinks he knows everything, I agree with what he's saying. The newspaper, radio news, and even TV news are becoming obsolete. Everything is found on the Internet these days. If someone wants to find out what happened in their town all they have to do is go to Google and type in their city and bam, multiple news sources are produced within seconds. The only people who I see buying papers are the people who are 50+ in age and are walking into CVS to get their prescription meds. I think this also true with many other things in the 21st Century. Many traditional things are moving into a technological era. As much as older generations don't want to make this transition it's going to happen and that mainly because of my generation. I would define our generation as the technological generation because we grew up with using computers in school and having them in our homes. In fifth grade, I still remember having a computer lab and we were one of the only elementary schools to have a classroom specifically for computer assignments. Everything since then has, in one way or another, involved technology. One really good example is the evolution of game consoles, granted we weren't around when Atari was out but the consoles such as Xbox and Playstation. When Playstation first came out it was that thing that every boy had to have and not 2 years later did the Playstation 2 come out and the same thing happened. Once those came out Xbox came out, Gamecube came out, Dreamcast came out, and all these "state or the art" game consoles started being produced right around the turn of the century. That is why I would say we are a technology generation.
