The article "Generation Always-On" brings up concerning points about our youth education for years to come. The studies showing that the attention span of this generation has decreased from that of the previous generations shows that technology and parts of social media maintain space in the human brain.
I feel that as long as education systems continue to push towards a fast paced shifting system then our youths will have success. However, if the system that I was brought up in takes places with lots of in class reading with a subject per hour ration then our classrooms could be in trouble.
I agree with the statement that in the year 2020 the brains of teens will struggle. The relability of social media to communicate definitely decreases the face to face communication performance. As well as the ability to find scholarly information! When teens are asked a question these days, before they even think about the answer they whip out their iphones and google search the answer, it is creating a lack of ability to carry a deep thought process which would result in quick and irrational decisions down the road!
