Its interesting to think about the control that society puts over the youth of our nation. To think that we can be so easily influenced over the smallest bit of peer pressure. To think of the urge we have to do something just because our society forces it into our mind as cool. It's just shocking to me at this point in my life as I continue to grow in my own maturity level.

Our society relies so much off of smartphones and computers and higher technology that we lose our roots and sight of what really matters in life. Its not even the fact that we forget all about our education or paying attention in class. Its that people put their smart phones and their social life ahead of them. An english class can be learning about a new topic in class but yet only a small portion of the class will keep their head into the lesson while others are playing "Words with Friends" on their smart phones. In a way this is funny because we are avoiding knowledge and using knowledge in the mean time. It just goes to show that society has a different ranking system and a completely different set of preferences. It shows that we have the talent and the drive to gain and to even use knowledge that we obtain but for some reason, we choose to focus on what our age group sets as a high standard. Which in our case is high technology.

Albert Einstein always feared the day that technology would take over our society and the important aspects of being social would be gone. It would kill him to see the way we live nowadays. You cannot be anywhere in public and not look around without seeing a smartphone, a macbook, or anything of that sort in use. Goes to show that we live in a world where common conversation is a thing of the past and that the best way to communicate is to talk over text or on twitter. Will things ever begin to look up for our society?
