Growing up as a 1990's baby, we are considered Generation Y. When we were young, we would go outside and play rather than sit inside and watch TV. Nowadays, kids are growing older younger. What does this mean? This means that kids nowadays are starting to mature much faster than kids in our generation. This creates a difference in how each generation was brought up. In the latter generation, they were brought up with iPads and iPods as well as smartphones. In generation Y, the evolution of technology was just happening so as a whole they didn't have a chance of developing a habit for it. At ages of 1 to 2 years old, these kids can navigate iPhones and iPads. At those ages for generation Y, kids were starting to learn to play. Yes there was TV but they preferred outside activities a lot more. Kids are now asking for iPhones at such young ages because they have already experienced these technologic advances with their parents. .
What motivates kids in today's generation to act older than they are? This question also has an underlying part. This is due to the fact that technology has been rapidly evolving. These kids have grown up with such rapid technology that they don't understand to do things the long way and understanding the meaning of why they are doing certain things. Nowadays if you don't know the answer to anything, you can "Google it." Before Google, you would have to go to the library, find a book that corresponds to it, and then figure out the answer. It took a couple of steps to reach there but the same result would happen now only faster. .
What is partipulation? Partipulation is when audience members participate in their own manipulation. During the holidays, we are given a sense of cheerfulness and camaraderie. With this in mind, it's usually during the holidays only. We aren't cheerful in the spring or the summer. We don't give thanks because we want to, we give thanks because its thanksgiving.
