I see the various mass media completely blowing up in the next 20 years, I can’t even imagine what mass media will be like in 50 years. I personally think that our lives are all ready becoming consumed by technology in the next 20-50 years things are going to become like people from the 60’s thought the future would look like; flying cars, crazy technology, and so many different futuristic things. This is not necessarily going to be a good thing either. People will be to reliant on technology that things could end up worse for incoming children. I already think its bad enough that little five year olds have iPhones and iPads just so they stay busy for their parents or because everyone else’s kids have them. I think that is ruining the next generation to come however, technology is never going to slow down so we should learn how to control it through mass media.
I agree, in that, I cannot stand seeing a 2-year old sitting inside the house playing Angry Birds on a perfectly sunny day. I don’t think we should stop producing technology…in fact, we (America) should be at the forefront of creating new technology. Learning how to effectively use and control that, however, is the big issue I think.
