HOMO- TELEVISIONUS

Oh this generation of mine! Ready to conquer things! Just give us a couch and a TV screen and you can get the best out of us!
In a high scale, I guess that this is a prevailed truth… We feel so damn comforted… I think that is not that the current youngsters are ideal-free, idle-lovers and boredom fascinated… It’s just that if you taste flabbiness at least for once, it’s hard to go on differently afterwards…
Here is the situation: now, people of my age have tons of amusement in front of a TV screen watching other people’s lives in reality shows, organizing DVD marathons during weekends or playing video games for a change… In the old days as I hear, they used to go out socializing, having actual- and not virtual as nowadays- activities; and reacting in things they were opposed to in obvious- and not passive- ways…
A lot may disagree and I’ll say that of course not everybody acts this way, but one- if I can’t say the only- common thesis about this generation is that we are indifferent about what’s taking place around us!
The good news is that as it seems we are in a turning point! It seems like it’s the end of the homo- televisionus anthropoids but the bad news is that we are heading to the birth of the homo-internetius… Internet may is a useful tool and a source of knowledge but if you are all day long busy in front of a computer then where are you going to apply all this information?
Everybody has to make his own decisions and his own searching in the matter but I don’t think that the future is as terrifying as it seems sometimes… All it takes is to press the “off”’ button…
