In an age where technology addiction has oozed into becoming the norm, remarks made to try and call attention to its negative influence on people’s lives tend to get brushed under the rug. Massive screen time numbers are met with humor to deflect the hold that they have on so many people. In reality, it is time to take this issue seriously; in a recent poll taken by People Magazine, it was estimated that the average adult in the U.S. may spend 44 years looking at a screen. In a country where the life expectancy is 79, this number should not be taken lightly. Technology’s grip is as strong as its lure, which is why it is so important to be aware of its dangers.

After my high school’s end-of-year auditions as a junior, I was offered a spot in three separate choirs and a higher-level orchestra. I had recently finished all of my graduation requirements, leaving my schedule wide open, and decided to accept all four offers. I dove into my musical studies, knowing that I would be unable to continue them in college. After all, I would have to put my scientific and legal studies, my career, ahead of my music.
Growing up, I felt a bit out of place without a mother. I knew plenty of people raised by single mothers, and a few people with two dads, but nobody with a single father. Luckily, I was also minorly (majorly) obsessed with “Star Wars” growing up. I remember watching “Attack of the Clones” as a middle schooler and thinking that Boba Fett was just like me: he only had a dad, and he certainly had plenty of siblings as well. Fortunately, my father was not beheaded by Mace Windu when I was a child like Jango Fett was.

There are several things that repeat with the generations: war, recession, trends. Skirts get shorter, then longer, then shorter again. There is a measurable trend cycle in fashion, with fads repeating themselves every few years. There are many experiences in this short life that the generations in America share; fear is one of those things.
