    People would not believe how much our generation is different from those of prior ones. Our technology is very different from what our parents and grandparents grew up with. We are so lucky to have the things we have today. Many years ago people did not have the pleasure of finding information about anything on the Internet or being entertained for hours and hours by watching a little box. People from prior generations were not able to listen to music on computers, download songs or images, and could not communicate with wireless technology. Not only has technology changed by the way it is used but its physical appearance has also changed. The television used to be a small box that you had to get up from the couch to change. Now, in our generation, television screens can be the size of houses and we can use the remote control to change the channel and it takes no effort. From listening to music on ipods to watching the hottest news on the internet, we live much comfortable lives because of the advancements and change our generation is apart of.
