The world of technology has monopolized society to the point that most people depend on it. Technology has disabled the human race's ability to feel comfortable in face-to-face interactions, creating social awkwardness when mingling with others. It is “difficult” for young boys and girls to communicate with each other without immediately turning to the comfort of their cellular device. The fact that society has reached this point inspired Sherry Turkle's article "Digital Demands: The Challenges of Constant Connectivity" in which the term "difficult" continues to be used to prove that people are no longer capable to complete a simple task without difficulty. Unfortunately, recent generations have become lethargic due to excessive use of technology, which has impacted their ability to accomplish things considered difficult. Subsequently, this generation has been hugely affected by technology. There are apps, computers, and many other gadgets that allow users to complete tasks faster. Unfortunately, although it is still considered a resource, technology has only made this generation lazy. As this generation continues to try to learn the ways of an iPhone, they are slowly losing the ability to achieve a goal on their own. This shows that the effects of technology on generation only begin with small tasks such as finding information, proofreading essays, or repairing a PowerPoint. However, this will soon lead to bigger and more difficult tasks for which technology can no longer be the solution. These tasks would include analyzing a quote, creating a thesis paper based on your own opinion, or writing an opinion editorial for a news article. These tasks could only be accomplished without a search engine providing the answer... in the middle of a sheet of paper... ability to accomplish a simple task. They rely on computers and social media for most of their answers without forming an opinion. This is why Turkle uses the term “hard” to explain his article so that readers can relate to it. She defines it as something that was once easy to achieve, but is now more difficult. [NW5] Therefore, explains how technology has created a lethargic generation, capable of thinking for themselves and solving difficult problems, without hoping that technology would make things easier.
