In his 1932 novel, Brave New World, Aldus Huxley predicts a civilization that strives on the distraction of mindless pleasure. In his future, people are controlled by their desire for happiness, comfort, and satiation. They are taught to live without goals or dreams, without hard work and rewards.

It is so common that it no longer is seen as the vast plane of information and exploration that it is; but, instead is used merely for gaming, TV, and social media. Dr. Sally Nimon describes the difference between generations well when she states that “to Baby Boomers […] and even Generation X‐ers […] phenomena such as mobile phones and the internet represent tools that can aid them in the performance of their daily lives; to Millennials there is evidence to suggest that they are as seamlessly woven into the fabric of their existence as the clothes they wear or the food they eat” (Nimon 24). Millennials have become so accustomed to technology that it no longer is an asset. To almost any member of Generation Y, a cell phone becomes an expectation at a certain age.
