This was a very interesting piece on how much the world is changing. The author of this passage began by describing how when a child used to be sent to his or her room it was a punishment. Parents used to do this to make their children feel cut off from the rest of the world. Now, it is not much of a punishment at all. Kids can be connected to the entire world all in the palm of their hand. The best part is, their parents have little to no understanding of the device that sets them free. In this article, it explains how in today's society a young person can be who they want to be while online. It also talks about how you used to see kids kicking a soccer ball together in the streets, but now they are busy playing a soccer video game online versus someone from Europe, or anywhere else in the world. In these days, anyone can be good at sports. You can be over weight and unhealthy, and still win the NBA championship game. This article had many points that many people may not even think exist. The small things in life like playing catch with your father in the front yard are beginning to disappear. They say that it's the little things that matter the most. If that is the case, few things will matter anymore. The passage ends by saying how if these devices were taken from the youth they would be totally lost. It is almost as if the more advanced technology gets the more less advance the everyday human becomes.
