"Unfortunately, most of what the up –and-coming generation knows is pertinent to technology., whereas 
the older generations (older than mine) were well versed in a plethora of knowledge. I’m jealous.” 

I find myself disagreeing with the author of the comment about how the older generations are more knowledgeable than the generation of the technology era. I understand that this generation now is consumed in social media and the latest and greatest iPhone compared to back then in whatever time period the author is referring to. I believe that there are flaws in every generation that comes around and with that we learn from it and improve. Technology isn't a bad thing; it's the abuse of how much technology we use.

In this era all we are always surrounded by technology and we have the world at our finger tips. For someone to say that our generation is lacking in knowledge is kind of a slap in the face when in this day and age we can find out anything in seconds. Even though kids are staying inside more and are exposed more to TV and computer screens rather than the outside world, kids are learning a lot more at such a young age and developing faster than kids back then. This generation in school with this newer technology has allowed them to stay stimulated longer and be more interested and engaged while they'll learning in the classroom. So I don't see why this author believes that being surrounded by technology is a bad thing; it has allowed several educational companies to find ways to make learning more fun and engaging to kids and make them want to come to school.
