Virtual reality is gripping and stunning even for adults, so what can we say about teenagers? They are smart and high-tech. People say about them — the generation with technologies at their fingertips. Most teenagers spend hours in front of their laptops or with their phones in their hands. The Internet can give access to every corner of the world. It's enough just to open the browser and write down the place you need and you can travel via maps there as much as you want. Isn't it exciting? You can watch movies, play games, read books and even study via the Internet. But what is the main problem of using technologies nowadays? Some people think that this generation of teens is «square-eyed», because of their phones, computers and TV. Is it true? Aren't we progressive, high-educated and creative? Let's see what Jacob and Anna think about it.
Jacob, 18, the USA
Well, it's unfair to think that we are couch potatoes. I'm a very active person and using phones is a form of rest for me. I do sports and play football for hours every day. When I come home I have a lot of things to do, because I'm a college student. After all, when I have my free time, I take my phone and surf the internet. It helps me to relax. I love reading blogs or watching different interesting videos because it's funny. Sometimes I watch stand up shows, they bring me a great laugh. But it doesn't mean that I'm not educated or a square-eyed teen. I think that the most important thing is to keep the balance. If you use your phone or laptop all day long, it's bad, but if you take it to do homework or to have a rest, it's quite ok.
Anna, 22, Australia
Wow! I love technology. I'm a DJ and I have my own Instagram blog. I tell people about music and my profession. It's amazing when the music is blaring and everyone is dancing. You can't beat the atmosphere, you should feel it. I think that laptops and computers help us to grow. We can create new music without different instruments, just with programs. By the way, you can't promote new songs or musical bands if you have no access to the Internet and programs. I don't think that my generation is square-eyed. We know that we have many opportunities and we try to catch them. Sometimes we need to work hard, but it would be much more difficult if we don't have any technologies. I mean, it's not bad to use technologies if you use them for good, such as your education or career.
