Life As We Know It, Knew it, and What It Will Be

     Life...a game we all play where we try to survive the harsh obstacles shoved into our path. We all try to clamber ofver these obstacles however some are not strong enough to get over and fall bellow to a husk of their former self. While some fail, others overachieve and get over their obstacles and go beyond leaving the average person behind whom just manage to clamber their obstacles. We all play this game and there is no way to escape it until we all pass into the void...

    As new generations of people arrive the game of life changes to keep up with the times and hurtles obstacles more closely related to modern culture. Today requires the average person to have much more then what they needed in past years. Today computers, internet, and various other technological devices are required to thrive in this world and are needed for school and work alike. Without these devices our world starts to slow down as we seperate ourselves from the modern generation and each task seems to take us hours instead of the few minutes they would take with modern technology. As days speeds up and gets faster and faster people will start to lose their sense of reality and slip into an almost coma like state of work. We are at the point where we can stay connected with all of our friends via facebook and can make instant calls to anybody as long as we have their phone number.
     Some people argue that the olden times were the better times because we did not have to cope with various forms of technologies that cause great problems for older generations. They say that people are always working and are never away from their jobs even when at home. While it is easier to access one's job it does not mean that you must always be connected. It is a personal choice allowing the individual more choice on their lifestyle. So perhaps the times of old were less confusing without as much technology however it was also considerably slower than today's society. Our technologically advanced society allows for each person to live as they want to live with them always working or perhaps having more leisure time. It is up to the individual to decide what they want making neither generation better but rather different times with different people.
