Assignment 4

1. Discuss what the main idea of the video is?

To let the people know that this generation is different that others because now we are influenced by different things like culture, language, and technology. So with this we have to create different ways to communicate, teach, and understand ourselves.

 2. Do you see yourself as past oriented or future oriented? Why?

I feel like I'm future oriented because all I'm doing right now is to have a better future. Everything I'm doing like studding, volunteer service, is to open me opportunities in universities, that at the time is going to give me better chances to get a good job and with it a good life.

3. Do you agree or disagree with the speaker in the video? Explain why?

Yes, I agree, because the speaker understands the new generation and the one that will be after us because right now we don't behave like the generation before us. With it the ways of teaching and understanding should be different that the way they are or they were.

4. Do you agree with the speaker's view that young adults' minds are being "digitally rewired"? Explain your answer.

I agree in some way because in reality some kids actually spend a lot of time in video games, cell phones, and TV. And of course this changes the way they think, but also there are some kids that actually want to learn and create a better future.

5. Why does the narrator in the video argue that young people dislike a single-function device such as a wristwatch? 

I think he sais that because  in now days kids are used to do a lot of things at the time like listening to music and do their homework,  or eat and watch TV. With it they want thing to have a lot of functions to make everything more efficiently and faster.1
