Answers
Answer:
“Technologies certainly do create cultural phenomenon, whether for good or for ill”, says Windsor Holden, senior analyst at Analysys.Born in the lap of technology, accompanied by the latest smartphones, tablets, computing gadgets and digital lifestyle right from their infancy, and having grown up in an era of social media, our modern generation can more appropriately be called a ‘wired-generation’: the generation that stays wired (connected) all the time.I once read these lines in an article:“Today's teenagers use technology to stay in touch with friends at all times - turning their bedrooms into 'connected cocoons'.”Hence, with an ever-advancing pace of technology, our generation is becoming more and more tech-savvy. Top this upwith a bunch of youngest Microsoft Certified Professionals featuring Arfa Karim Randhawa, 9, and Ayan Qureshi, 6 in the spotlight. The technology is advancing and the whole world is busy in attaining the best technology. And now in this computerized era our new generation (also called Generation Z) has no extra time, because they just invest their time in activities like playing video games, keeping busy in their social networking, texting on cell phones, watching movies,and downloading different kinds of apps for their smartphones.The tragedy, though, is that while we are so busy competing thoroughly with the whole world in the race of technology, we are left far behind in one field of knowledge: the field of ‘literature’. And regrettably, if not more than half, then at least half of our generation is not interested in reading books. Because they think they can learn everything on the internet and through social media.
