This is my blog #3. The second one was absolutely not very good, I would even say not good at all. Therefore, looking back to the first blog (about “The Matrix”), I have understood that readers like more opinion and expression than some boring abstruse text. It’s been really hard to choose topic, because many of them I don’t find attractive at all, that is why I decided to introduce some kind of variety in our common unremarkable life.
As far as I know, the majority of students are sharing some technological innovation news here, but as for me, the main purpose of blog is to react and express your point, so the following message is completely based on my personal life and opinion.
With the emergence of technologies, it’s become easier to work, develop, recover, relax and share information, but every innovation has it’s downsides. Now I would like to talk about how people started to spend all their own life over the internet. It may seem that I am old man, who is trying to teach to how to live, but I am getting older and starting to understand that time is priceless. For now, looking at my young cousins, who are playing on the iPad at the age of 3 years old, I feel scared and sorry for them, because they will not be able to experience that wonderful childhood that we had.
I am 19 years old and, at the age of seven, my first phone was a push-button one LG ( not the most suitable thing to boast). I remember how my friends and me were playing football outside (not FIFA as we all play today), playing some different IRL games. It’s been really good time and I think that I can compare these two types of childhood, because for example when I was 13 or 14, the smartphones became the common thing.
So what is the point? You never can experience that spectrum of emotions by playing some computer games. You never can replace that live chat vibe by chatting on Discord. So I propose to spend your youth walking down the streets with your friends, laughing and speaking, realizing and enjoying that this is the best time of your life.
I am waiting for your points of view in the comments.

I find your heading outstanding when compared the others, and it encouraged me to click on it and read it. I can say that I totally agree with your opinion about our childhood and today’s children way of spending time. I think that the usage of smart devices since the first years seriously affects the way of perceiving the world and living in it. Kids nowadays experience things virtually in games or videos, when our generation was experiencing it in person. Good post, I really enjoyed reading it.
