Mark: Hey, Mike. Heres a question. Do you think teenagers these days, have a better life than, say we did, when we were teenagers? Mike: Well, its, thats a debate thats been going on since the days of Socrates and Plato, I think, but again, and probably like Socrates, has said himself, You know kids today, are a lot different than they were when we were younger, thats for sure. Whether its better or not, ah, I personally think, we had it better because we werent stuck behind a computer or behind a TV set all day, I think we tended to do things more outside, but I think whether youre a teenager now or then, probably the same kind of issues went on in your head. Mark: Yeah, thats the way I feel about it, actually. Mike: Think so. Mark: Well, these kind of, these kind of debates or these kid of issues, I feel like there is no better or worse, its just different, (Yeah) you know. Mike: How do you think its different? Mark: Well, in obvious ways, like the technology now. (Sure) Like I can remember the first, my first microwave (Right) and my families first VCR, (Sure) and those were, you know, pretty exciting moments, yeah, absolutely. Mike: Hows about going to the library to have to get research. Mark: Yeah! Thats interesting, but, uh, people dont do that much anymore and I dont even realize that, but, yeah, um, so the technology is definitely better now (Sure. For sure.) but its more addictive, I mean kids, start, like you said, they dont play outside (Yeah) they just play video games all day (Yeah) and you know, I wasnt allowed to stay inside so much when I was a kid. |
