I'm 22 and am slightly opposed to much of the increasingly popular technology, but have taken part with many of the fads. Further, I'm writing a research paper about the planning of residence halls for the Millennial Generation, as I'm a Resident Advisor and Environmental Planning major and I find the future of residence halls a fascinating topic. I feel that the Millennial Generation is dependent upon technology, which I have seen as an RA and it's very easy to get caught up in this. I feel that there are great qualities to each of the generations, such as the increasing tendency to be more environmentally aware that I have noticed. The fact that I have taken this survey on the internet indicates just how reliant our society has become on technology.

I don't know if I was excited to be part of the Millennial generation or not! I was finding myself justifying an answer - such as "Did you play video games in the past 24 hours?" Well, I did, but it was the Wii Fit. How much did I text over the last 24 hours? I actually went through my phone and looked. There were only 5 personal texts and the remaining 10 were work-related to colleagues and my staff. But the author makes a good point. Facebook makes (?) us take so many quizzes. Every day it's a new quiz to determine your real age, your true love's current mood, or an algorithm to determine your future wedding date. Was this quiz any different?
