I would like to write a little about how society is right now during my youth. How things are creeping up to utterly pathetic to what seems real quick in my life so far. Maybe I'm writing this for my future children, though I feel I'd have better luck with a listener writing this for those who have long passed before me. I'll try to describe this life in the best words possible, containing no evidential pictures. I am a 21 year old girl who graduated High School in the year 2010. I am writing this three years after only having gone to college for a semester of college, where I failed miserably. I am including this information to show I do not present myself any higher then what and who is around me. Have I come to this panicking realization and am now striving to at least live my life differently in hopes to save myself from making generations of brainless, anti-social, materialistic, mindless, unaware, self absorbed little mes? Of course. If I post this that I'm writing for people to see, I have no fear for my generation reading this or their opinions. It's the generations above me that I'm worried about noticing all of my grammatical errors and punctuation, my lack of knowledge outside of what I read and see on the internet, most of which is from people I know or distant friends or acquaintances of people I know. One thing to start all of this off with is how much people depend on "spellcheck" for any piece of writing. Whoever decided it was a good idea to include spellcheck in everything must not have considered what handicap it would cause. They didn't have spell check in anything but the computer programs we used in school when I was growing up. At least not that I can remember. I am already feeling I should revise this little tid bit of a story after I've gone back to school and taken some writing classes. As I have said, I haven't been to school in a while, haven't been learning much, haven't been refining skills much either. I must say, I thought myself a pretty good little writer in High School. I've already forgotten how to properly format my writing for the most part so I'm not even going to pretend. It's almost as if spell check is where it all began. I have in fact, used spellcheck a couple of times already. It's telling me I'm spelling spellcheck wrong, maybe I need to write it spell check. Is it a one word title for a program we use? Hell if I know. Onto another subject. I am prefacing this next subject of cell phones with, my phone spell checks along with everyone else's. There was a small period of time where there were websites dedicated to the funny mishaps that became of spell checking phones. They were funny. I'm starting to think I should save this writing for when I need a great idea for a long ass report for when I go back to school where I can cite quotes and links to back my shit up. That's another thing, people seem to swear like sailors in this bunch. Then again, I gained a potty mouth growing up with my mom. I would insert a "haha" write there and I almost did before remembering I was trying to write this as a report. I did just notice I spelled write where I should have written right. I am panicking. I can't spell properly anymore. I am "hahahaing" again. I have just become extremely overwhelmed with this report and I'm considering breaking this up into a daily/weekly journal of sorts. Oh, that would be a blog, which is what I'm writing this on now. Maybe I should post this as is now and wait for respondents in order to continue. Why should I write this for current viewers, I'll continue. I'm writing this for my future kid(s). I feel bad for my kids because I'm not sure how I will handle my beliefs in the use of our technology in weight of how society will be then. My kid will be considered that outcast weirdo who can't follow their friends on instagram and twitter because they don't have their own smartphone at the age of 7. I can do this, I can raise my child to believe I love them and these things don't matter without him/her resenting me horribly for not allowing them to keep up in the latest trends on the internet. I wish I believed myself. I wish my kid would go to school and learn cursive in elementary, learn to write reports with actual books for their researching. Growing up I didn't have a cell phone until I could afford my own when I went out and got a job. I didn't have a car let alone an insured one until I could afford that as well. One thing I appreciate that my dad did was make me work for the stupid stuff I don't need. No, I don't need a car but my life would be a lot more stressful without one, or would it? I wouldn't have the stress of keeping the registration updated and paying for insurance along with the surprise failure of parts and oil changes. Taking the bus sounds a lot nicer, except in the winter. Like I said, I took the bus throughout the majority of High School. I realize now that I paid for my car, insurance, and cell phone with social security checks I got from my dad. I still didn't earn these things. Till I was 18 that is. Most of my friends in high school had all of these things, none of which they paid for. Most of my friends didn't have jobs until they were probably 20. I like the idea my kid won't have a cell phone until they can pay for it themselves but I feel that ideas like this will leave me to be resented. I am going to calm down and break these posts up into sections. We'll go onto the subject of "Facebook" next shall we? Hopefully they will become less scattered as I write them. - Jordan
