Google Generation

We all know that technology is advancing so rapidly these days, it's kind of hard to keep up. Not only do we have the World Wide Web but we have SO many ways to access it now that when you don't have your 3G or wifi connection, you get kind of pissed. I work in an outdoor mall, I'm pretty sure it's the biggest of it's kind in North Florida and we even have wifi for our entire mall. My point is.. technology is growing, and fast. When I start to think about all of this, it makes me wonder how it's really effecting (affecting?) us. Is our generation really the google generation?
Apparently, some studies show that it's not negatively effecting us, which I thought was some what surprising. I think as long as we don't forget that the internet and Google and everything else that is out there is a tool, not a crutch. We all need to be reminded every once and a while that books and good old fashioned pen and paper are never out of style. I LOVE books, and the internet will never replace the feeling and smell of a good hard back.
So, I encourage everyone to read a book or write a letter sometime soon. And when you're reading that book and get to a word that you don't know the meaning of.. Google it! :)


Here's an interesting article on the "Google Generation".

Later this week I will have some posts on a few DIY projects and pictures from the Fourth!

Happy Fourth of July weekend to everyone! I'm stuck at work today but fortunately I'm off tomorrow and have a short day on the fourth. As of now, I have no big plans but I do plan on raging hard the next two days with my friends and seeing fireworks on the beach with my boyfriend, Wesley. I hope everyone has a good weekend. I'm leaving you with an amazing video I stumbled upon on my lunch break today, just follow the link here. Enjoy! :)
