Even many people stay together or living together, but they chat with each other through text. I also see a lot of this situation in many of my classes. For example, every time I come in to a classroom, there usually have two-thirds of people plays their phone and computers to spend the time before class begin, only few of people talk with neighbors. Why do we sit together without any communication? It is a really serious problem. The more we focus on electronic products and the more we communicate through...

Sawyer (2010) according to a to a new study by the Kaiser Family Foundation children spend more than 75 hours per week on their electronics devices. To solve this problem among the children population using electronic gadgets should be monitored because children waste too much time on the electronic devices, they have difficulty to focus on one task and also can cause them some health issues.

They do not have time to do learn any practical skills from their parents such some cultural and family tradition. If they live with their grandparents, they could have use this to learn more thing from them such as second language if their grandparents are not native American.

...hijacking commercial airplanes and flying them to civilian targets like the World Trade Centre. Physical terrorism differs from cyber terrorism in the sense that the later primarily entails carrying out attacks against information found in computers while the former involves an attack against civilians. Those individuals, who dress up as civilians and blow up themselves in a crowded area like a bus constitutes physical terrorism since the attacks aims at destroying human life. Most likely, cyber terrorists use computers or other similar devices to carry out attacks on information found on computers. Cyber terrorism will have more impact than physical terrorism. The main aim of physical terrorism is to cause loss of life whereas cyber terrorism may entail hacking into a country’s critical infrastructure with the sole purpose of causing great harm such as significant damage on the economy or loss of life. Such attacks aim at causing harm on information technology systems that are a critical part of traffic control, medical and emergency services, public safety, as well as public works.

...Generation Gap Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment is made from generation to generation and is always true; it has never been truer than it is today.These days, grown-ups describe children as «difficult», «rude», «wild» and «irresponsible». Only some people say that they will grow up to make our country a better place. For kids from 8 to 14 a new term «tweens» has recently been coined. They are no longer children nor yet teenagers, just between – tweens. They are said to be a generation in a fearful hurry to grow up. Instead of playing with Barbies and Lego they are interested in the vagaries of love on TV serials. Girls wear provocative make-up. At this very age kids start pairing off. Tweens have got an insatiable desire for the latest in everything – from jeans with labels so that everyone will know that they've got the latest stuff – to CDs. Kids at their age desperately need to belong and that's why everything comes down to appearance. They think that having the right «stuff» is the quickest way to acceptance. To parents and teachers they can be a nightmare, aping the hairstyles, clothes and make-up of celebrities twice their age. Experts say that the rush to grow up is due to the mass media. Being raised by single-parent families as well as watching TV, which sucks up most of their free time, can also accelerate the desire of children for being independent and creates behaviour problems. But the most painful part of childhood...
