So I was driving one day from I don't remember to I don't know where, and I was listening to the radios and one of my new (at-the-moment) favorite song came on: "Take Over Control" by Afrojack and Eva Simmons. I absolutely love it! Great beat, rhythm, and bass. I would dance in my seat every time the bass- break came on and get really into it! Then it hit me, I'm 25 years old who loves to dance and go to clubs to "exercise" and "practice" my grooves, and the middle- and high- school students are also probably loving this song and dancing to it. That made me feel slightly old and awkward at the same time because when they go to dances and listen to this song, and if they go to raves, etc, they will be used to it. I am just getting into House and Techno music while the students of today are growing up with it.
It must be fun to be a student of today's generation; they have endless informative resources (by phone, laptop, or iPad), digital cameras, great "techno" music, "free" file-sharing, and more! While I was growing up, we still had pagers, thick Nokia phones, some internet, and Oregon Trails (totally not hating! LOVE that game). It would be SO nice to live in their generation where many things are more accessible inexpensively. They have Facebook to keep up with their friends while in high school (with 400+ friends), while we (my generation) got Facebook while in college with fewer friends (600+ including high school and college friends). Technology is part of life for them as day and night is for us "older" generations. Man, life is unfair, I wish I was born in their generation; at least, we had "Baby-Sitter's Club", "Boxcar Children", and Donkey Kong while we were growing up :)
