Today's generation of kids has been labeled the "me, me, me" generation. Let's face it: Today's technology fosters a culture of narcissism.
Our digital existence allows us constant access to the Web, text messaging, instant messaging, Facebook, Twitter and more. Young people are constantly tweeting, blogging and Snapchatting. So how can we flip the screen and get kids to pay more attention to the actual world around them?*Click on link above for the rest of this article
This particular article deals with something I believe affects us all. Being financially responsible in todays economy has had a lasting effect and people, even students at NYIT can suffer especially if you are on a budget or have to work to make ends meet. Most of the time being a student, especially if you are returning to school on your own dime, wasting means suffering at another time of the month. I have found that if money is gone now, it will not be there later. Taking advantage of saving, putting aside for later, and generally making sure you can pay bills and even buy a metrocard, can get you along in life.
Dealing with children is even a bigger hassle, especially when they might think that money grows on trees. Moms and Dads constantly giving them things, taking them places, and buying even necessities may make the child spoiled in a fashion. A parent needs definitely to explain to the child we cannot go here o cannot buy that or we have one at home might upset the child, but as the article states we are in an age of technology that brings many things into our environment we may or may not be able to handle.
