Seclusion

As technology gets more advanced, it gets easier and easier to do what you love, alone, by yourself. Today, kids look less forward to getting together with their friends, and more towards getting together with their phone, TV, or computers. Its now really easy to just sit at home and play games, or watch movies for eight hours. You don't have to go outside anymore and see the beauty of nature, you can simply look up beautiful nature on your phone and find really pretty views around the world.

More and more kids are having less and less friends, and now, they don't even need them. Some kids literally don't have any friends, and don't even realize what they are missing, because all the social interaction they need is the television screen, and seeing the main characters of a show have a relationship. Some shows even make people not want to have friends, and human interactions because of how crazy and stupid people are (Jersey Shore). Some people just don't want anything to do with that part of life, so they would rather just watch crazy things happen to other people, or other people do daring things, and not risk anything themselves, they would rather just let other people do it and watch, while they laugh at, or with the characters of the show, or game.

Another thing that has come out of new technology is relationships and friendships online. People who play online may talk to other people playing the same game as them, find out they have some things in common, and end up becoming friends, or even in a relationship. Even if you have known somebody for a year, do you really known them. It is not the same as a long distance relationship because you have never seen them before. I'm not saying this because I'm a shallow person, and saying "what if they were ugly the whole time, and you didn't even know". A lot of you men and woman have been abducted, or murdered because they had online friend ships of relationships, and when they finally went to meet up, one of them was not who they said they were, and on of them never comes back home. Or even on a less dramatic scale, what if somebody is completely nice over the screen, or letter, and then you see them in person and they are a complete slob, and you are a clean freak. It will hinder how well you will get along with each other. Body language can go a long way too, what if they were ignoring you the whole time online, and you couldn't notice because you couldn't see if they were doing something else while you were talking to them, maybe they don't know as much about you as you know about them.

In just this short decade or two kids have become less social, and more introverted, and secluded. What will happen in the next 25 years, will technology become more advanced, will you not have to leave your room for anything, there already are online schools, and plenty of entertainment. what will come next. Or have we reached the peak, and kids are already secluded as possible. Or will we begin to correct ourselves, and become less dependent on technology, and start having more friends, and social interactions.
