Generation eXcess

I like facebook
Before, I wouldn't know what was going on in people's lives
+ So I'd call. Visit. Ask. About their "status."

I love facebook. Because it keeps me connected to people's lives
I just wish I didn't waste so much of my life doing it from a distance.
"Chris is…too busy to talk because he's checking his facebook"

I like Ebay
Before, we used to drive to the store + buy things when we needed it
+ my mom paid with a check. + she only spent money that we had

I love Ebay. Because anything I want is just a mouse click away.
I just wish I wasn't so impulsive. to clutter my house w/ shinier versions of stuff I already got
"Wow, a flight to London for $223 RT! Buy it NOW!!!"

I like my GPS
Before, I used to pull out a map
+ figure out the best way to get places. + when I got there, I knew my way around.

I love my GPS. Because I can just turn it on + drive
I just wish I knew what direction I was going. + wasn't so dependent on a machine
"Go straight. Go straight. Go straight."

I like my generation
Before, I thought the world revolved around me.
+ now I realize, I'm a part of a larger movement of change. Like nothing we've ever seen.

I love my generation because it's my generation
I just pray that it doesn't become a victim of its own success. + I guess it starts w/ me
