The author expresses concern over the the unlimited media gratification
that our youth have. He is essentially talking about you! Respond to his
concerns
I don't think that there is any need to worry about the unlimited media gratification that today's youth has. We are known as the technology generation. We use media to make every possible aspect of our lives easier. New technology is making school and learning so much easier. For example, wikis and this blog. The author talks about impulse buying. Most of today's youths don't use the internet for impulse buying, but instead for communication. Most people have an email address, facebook, myspace, blog, etc. This is all so that they can communicate with their friends and other people.
The author also says that this new technology will make school more boring. I disagree with this. I think that the technology of web 2.0 makes class much more interesting. At my high school, technology was rarely used and usually only consisted of a short powerpoint presentation. Most of the kids today cannot imagine living without technology and I think that the school systems should incorporate more technology to keep up with today's evolving world.

I agree I think that the new technology is making it easier to learn. Mostly because technology comes so easy to our generation so why not put that information to use.
I also agree that the author kind of exaggerated. It seems as if he created his own stereotype of today's youth which is farfetched in many ways.
You are so right. We, the children, of these United States, use technology today more for communication than any other reason. There's no way I can think of where technology is boring. Unless youre watching a video where (a) the narrator is monotone, or (b) the subject itself is soooo boring.
