"new and reshaping" technology?

It is very difficult to step out of ourselves when we are so surrounded by the style and luxury in which we live. Many adults believe that children and teenagers have it so easy these days. They always say “we never had that as a child.” They constantly put us down and criticize us for what they created. Are we the ones who invented cell phones and television and computers? NO. It’s so irritating to hear their bullshit. They blame us for what THEY did and they do not realize it. They constantly complain that we don’t read enough or that we do not walk anywhere now a days, yet they came up with the idea of electronics and cars. Some people honestly need to realize that teenagers and children did not give themselves the lives they live. If adults want us to read books so much then why are they thinking about getting rid of libraries and just having every book on the internet? What is wrong with society? All the “wisest” people aren’t always as smart as they think, are they? Adults make just as many mistakes as teenagers do if you really think about it. They may have more experience with things but at the same time they don’t. They’re living in a different time period than the one modern teenagers are living. Adults may have gone through similar situations but time has changed and reactions to certain things are different. Everything isn’t as simple as it may have once been. Adults formed the way life is now led, they were and are the influence and direction.I believe that, for anyone, giving up the use of anything we are immune to is hard. People use cell phones and computers because everyone else does. People just want to stay connected with each other. Now that we have that “connection” we don’t want to get rid of it. People want to make things easier for themselves so they use technology. It’s contradicting because technology just makes everything that much more complex.
