Technology
To reflect on Sal's "Growing up Online" article, I think technology has a huge role in society today. I think teens have a lot harder time communicating with people their own age and older because they are use to always typing things out. Many teens probably don't have as high of a vocabulary because they are always sending short IM's or text messages. Yes technology is helping by keeping the world connected, but it is also hurting the youth of society by having the Internet. It is scary that anyone can find out your information online and a lot of teens put a ton of information on their facebook and myspace websites. It will be interesting to see when the youth becomes the people running the world and how much society changes.

I agree with what you said about teenagers having a hard time conversing with adults. To me, they always seem very awkward and don't know how to talk to the adult, when they should just talk normally. However, because teens barely talk to each other (everything is electronic), they have no idea how to talk to adults. It is very sad, because it causes a huge age gap that really doesn't have to be there.
