Dear Millennials - A Letter to the Lost Generation.


Dear Millennials, 

Free stock photo of pen, writing, notes, school
We're the most educated generation in history. Generation where a 10-year-old is an app developer, where a 21-year -old is leading a successful life and also a generation where 14 year olds are giving relationship advice!

We're safer than we've ever been. We're educated, technologically advanced. We've got it all....
BUT It is also a bitter fact that Millennial generation is extremely internet nerd. We spend more time before virtual world than the real world.

There's a famous question: "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound??"
Now see how this question has evolved today: 
  • If you don't post a picture of your dinner on Instagram, did you still eat it? 
  • If your friends doesn't upload a picture with you on Facebook, are they even your friends? 
  • If you wake up with no notification, no friend requests and no messages, do you even exist?
Coming back to the question - "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
You know what? 

It does!

We're Degrading With the Advance in Technology.
Allow me to tell you how!
You know what's the most disgusting thing about our generation?
This! 
Do you see that little dot in the water? That's a man who was drowning. 
A group of teenagers not only recorded him drowning but laughed and mocked him while he was crying for help and struggling to save his life. 
"We not gonna help your ass. Ain't nobody gonna help you. You shouldn't have gone there, you dumb." 

These are direct quotes from the video. When the man went underwater and never returned, they laughed. (He's dead ahahaha
They watched a man lose his life right in front of them and did nothing. Instead, recorded a video and laughed at it. When interviewed about this, they showed no remorse. Sh!t like this makes me sick.
This was just an instance. Things like these happen everyday and everywhere. 
Remember the Arjun Bhardwaj's case? 

Who is to be held accountable for such happenings? It's You! It's we Millennials who cannot think about selfie trend. Go out and have a look.. are there people walking or just a technology slave in the name of human!?

We youngsters keep talking so much of crap for which we have zero idea but like to brag everything from Instagram followers, Quora views, Youtube fame to Business strategies and hacks on how to become "RICH."

NO! This is not any hate or negative letter. But the thing is. . . Along with all the positives- the internet and social media world has opened a box of disasters.

What else should I say?! 

It's not a thing to Say, but to Understand!!

Don't forget this - Our parents and their parents and their parents had no access to mobiles phones and internet, but they not only survived but actually lived. 

Sincerely yours,

A Fellow Millennial! (1992)
