My generation isn't really that great

This thing eats my posts, and sends me to my profile when I hit submit. Then my post vanishes, most of the time.

Then it will post my complaint, and this line is an edit.

Some great work has been lost.

This generation will be fine, just because technology advanced and you don't want it to does not mean that were going to be bad off.

People said the same thing about previous generations (these hippies all need to get jobs!, all kids do is sit around and watch tv all day!)

The last generation was just as s**t as the current one and the cycle of "damn kids these days" will last seemingly forever

i don't think people change much from generation to generation. all people are wonderful, even though flawed, animals.

I remember a time before the Internet. Luckily, our parents weren't all scared of strangers kidnapping us so we were pretty much free range. (In reality, stranger kidnapping has NOT increased. What's increased is kidnappings by someone the child knows.)

This generation is a product of the one that raised them and the world that was left for them. Technology can be scary and its effects further reaching than we ever can imagine, are we better off is the questions and in most ways its obvious yes but there are definitely downsides as well that some adjusting will need to be done. It annoys me as well to see people make so many generalizations about the "Greatest Generation" or Boomers or Gen X and Millennials, you have to find the deeper meaning in things and understand why things are the way they are instead of casting blame or heaping praise. We're not that different, the world has changed so if you have a problem with this current generation then you really have a problem with the society that shaped them which we all share in.

The greatest thing about culture is resources and opportunities for learning and freedom of expression, as time goes on.

The hardest thing about MODERN culture is finding a balance of keeping human empathic connection in heart/SOUL IN EXPRESSING HUMAN spirit, and NOT BECOMING A TOOL OF CULTURE, MOREOVER THAN A HUMAN BEING.

I CAN DO things for freedom of expression now that my ancestors could have never dreamed of at my age.

And as far as worrying about if 'skeletons' come out of closets, the greatest thing about sharing humanity rather than keeping everything secret and hidden, is skeletons no longer become viewed as skeletons in closet.

Instead, skeletons become part of the human condition, more fully appreciated, tolerated, and potentially accepted and at most most likely ignored as there is way too much stuff to do, rather than focus on one persons so-called dirty laundry.

And as far as financial info, getting stolen, I just keep one credit card with fraud protection; problem solved, and don't use my full name on the Internet, as there are much bigger 'phish' to capture than me, who do not use due caution to express themselves as literally fully as they want to, everywhere they go in Internet land, where freedom is possible no matter where a person lives..

Where a Muslim woman can talk about sex if she wants to, with a pseudo name, and not get 'stoned', and all that 'stuff'...

It is a great generation for those who discipline themselves in balance and are NOT AFRAID to fully express who they want to be both online and in REAL LIFE TOO..

AND IF A PERSON can avoid getting trapped in a materialistic spending habit world, it doesn't take THAT much money to get by and have basic subsistence, assured.

And with the addition of subsidized health care that potential is greater than ever too, for folks who want to have a family too, with all the health issues that do often go along with that.

The most important thing is to keep an optimistic outlook.

Attitude is 99% of 'good' in life, no matter what the environment may be.

Without a positive outlook, a 'zillionaire' can be miserable everyday, 'everynow'...

And what is a positive attitude...

It is a way of life established by developing mind and body balance through
GREATER physical intelligence regulating emotions,
sensory integration, enhancing cognitive
executive functioning through enhanced
focus and short term working memory.

And all that takes is an E for Effort of continual creative and imaginative practice,
and little to no money to accomplish that part of real potential in human bliss
in the heaven of now, all the time now, with or without materialistic stuff and
lots of money in the bank, or not;

YES, THIS IS 'The stuff' that can be totally 'FREE'
without even the assistance of modern technology
in ways of mind and body balance,
AND is priceless, for those who seek it, find it,
employ it, utilize it and practice it
continually to just be all THEY CAN
BE
NOW
AS IS.
