Past American generations were defined by what they did, be it the W.W.II generation, the hippie generation, the lost generation after W.W.I. Will our generation be remembered for averaging seven plus hours a day of TV? For apathy? For embracing technology to isolate ourselves from each other? For being obese couch potatoes? For blind allegiance to our leaders? For rekindling the crusades in our lust for oil? For religious fanaticism? For liberation or loss of the family unit? The consumer generation, perhaps, as we save less than any other before us.
I would like to say that the development of technology or something positive, but that was
developed by a relative few though it affects many. It is the mass of Americans and how they react, what
their actions are, that will define us. What I'm asking here is what will define our generation as a whole.
Perhaps there are some positive reflections I'm missing in my shadowed state of mind.
