Reflection: This digital story is about the generation that I am living in right now. It describes certain technologies and programs that are used in modern day life. I made this movie using iMovie.

My Generation Script First Draft

My  Generation Script

    I see my generation to be technologically advanced. Technology is basically the main focus of the 21st Century. Compared to previous generations, my generation has  the most enhanced technologies available. Some devices that have flourished by this time have been the cell phone, the Macbook, and newer generations of the Ipod. Cell phones have enhanced communication purposes in many ways. Texting is a huge advancement in this generation that most people use on a normal basis, probably even more than phone calls. Computer devices have also improved in the amount of softwares and programs that are available to us. The programs that are mostly used in this generation include Microsoft Powerpoint and iMovie. Macintosh Products can represent this generation very easily because of all the great technologies that we use by them at this point. I use both of these programs and many other softwares that relate to media work. Well there's not much  else to say about this generation except for the fact that this is a technological generation and that we are influenced by technology.
    As well as computers and cell phones, there have been advances in gaming systems.  some new gaming systems include the Nintendo Wii, the XBOX360, and the PS3. All of these systems are improvements of older systems in the past. These gaming devices have better features and online play; smething the olde systems didn't have. I find them to be great entertainment consoles and to be major technological advancements. Well there's nothing else to say bot this generation except for the fact that we are living in a technological world. Who knows hat future generations will be like. There will probably be even bigger advancements in later generations.
