Social Media Is Not Creating The Laziest Generation
SHARE:
Today on CNN.com, comedian Dean Obeidallah wrote a fascinating piece with a premise that I'm still struggling with: Are social media creating the laziest generation?
My gut reaction is to give an emphatic yes, followed by, "and get off my lawn you kids!" But I don't think Obeidallah is giving people enough credit:
We are the reality-show generation. Instead of doing, we watch: We watch people sing, dance with B-level stars, fist pump, pawn stuff, pick a husband/wife, get extreme makeovers to their homes and faces, be `real' housewives, keep up, lose weight, go to rehab, get fired, survive.
Reality programming is at a unique crossroads at this point, I think. Who is the "we" Obeidallah references, I wonder? Game shows and sports were being televised not long after Philo Farnsworth invented TV technology. But when I think of Reality Shows as they are recognized today, I look to MTV.
Programming tracked Generation X as it evolved from disenfranchised youths resisting the cold, corporate setup (pop culture benchmarks include "damn the man" films like Reality Bites and Slacker) to eventually participating in it. One of the first reality shows that amplified the voice of this generation was MTV's The Real World, which did more than just peer into the day-to-day lives of a household of strategically cast teens and twentysomethings in the early 1990s. It broadcast a national sense of indifference, a demographic in pursuit of a holding pattern before succumbing to adulthood. By the end of the decade, though, that same group became less enamored of their televised avatars as peers; they got older, while the Real World casts stayed the same age. Traditional (read: old-school) game shows like Who Wants to be a Millionaire? and Survivor became the craze (there was even a short-lived revival of the 50s game show Twenty One, which was popular in Generation X's grandparents' day and hosted by their parents' entertainment icon Maury Povich). In spite of the fact that TV screens got thinner and more rectangular in shape, programming kind of got, well, more square.
Sure, audiences watch people sing and dance--and on a more salacious level, exercise moral and sexual exploits purely for shock value--but what I come away with is the fact that, peeping tom programming aside, we're watching stuff that most of us can't do ourselves. I am among the vast majority of people who do not think they can dance. I also know my singing voice will never be idolized. I vicariously experience what I might only be exposed to on Broadway or at a concert. And--onslaught of product placements notwithstanding--I appreciate that side of the medium.
Obeidallah veers into the virtual lifestyle next, calling the computer screen our entre into voyeurism. He makes a valid and important point, but there's more to social than he's giving credit.
Sometimes, voyeurism can be less creepy, less sinister. Arianna Huffington said, "Self expression is the new entertainment." If anything, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and YouTube have enabled us to be more interactive, and less passive.
I like that social media can make journalists and pundits of us. I like that it can connect people and help save lives. Look at Hollaback, founded by Emily May, a network and blog that enables victims of sexual abuse to report incidents, share stories and support one another in real time. Or the Reinvent NYC.gov hackathon that encourages developers and designers to help transform New York City's web site and and empowers the city's denizens to define their home.
Sure, social media can provide a platform for the profane and the puerile, but it also gives voice to those with something critical and useful to say. I'm glad that I found Obeidallah's article, which was sent to me via a Facebook message, and which I may not have happened upon without social media.
"Observing events and then commenting on them...has become our national religion," he writes. Sure, it is often abused like an opiate. But it also makes outliers--and sometimes, martyrs--out of people. The unfortunate events that befell Sean Hoare, the former News of the World reporter attest to that. I learned about his whistle-blowing, as well as his demise, via Twitter.
Then Obeidallah lowers the boom:
In the past, people would recount where they were when an historic event occurred such as the Kennedy assassination, the space shuttle exploding or the 9/11 attacks. In the future, we will instead recall what we tweeted, posted or read on social media platforms about such events.
That's where I have to disagree. I don't think social media has made us lazier--not on the whole, anyway. It has perhaps made us less patient, but it's also made information more accessible and given us greater capacity to connect and change. When I was a kid, immediate gratification used to manifest itself as popping on a video game instead of going outside to play. But thanks to the Jane McGonigals of the world, gaming has gotten much more instructive, intuitive, informative. And activities like blogging--once considered a pioneering portal for citizen media, then maligned as an easily appropriated gossip tool--are still valuable platforms from which new ideas and opinions can thrive and encourage social change. They made this citizen journalism series on the evolution of the urban slum (written by the social entrepreneurs who are contributing to the urban slums' improvements first-hand) possible. They're responsible for this post, too.
Obeidallah evokes Robert F. Kennedy's wisdom: "Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation."
Those acts, however random and small, can become targeted and mighty. Sometimes 140 characters can influence corporate social responsibility and even lead movements.
It's a debate, I think, and one I hope will continue. Dean Obeidallah got me to thinking, and I really appreciate that. One thing's certain: I'll be following him via social media going forward for more insights--the question is, does that make me more or less lazy?

was smooth. Will buy again.
The first three are basically the same.
The TI-83+ is the budget model, but it will still do just about anything mathematical that the other two will do. It'll certainly be good enough for any class that recommends a TI-83+ or TI-84+.
- The one major feature it doesn't have is Pretty Print, which shows equations and expressions as they would be written on paper, not as you would type them into a computer. That is, the TI-83+ shows 1/2 instead of a vertical fraction, and shows 2^3 instead of using superscript for the exponent.
- This calculator also comes with a few less built in apps, but only power users will ever use them.
The TI-84+ and the TI-84+ Silver Edition are even more similar.
- The TI-84+ has more memory than the TI-83+ and the Silver Edition more than the regular TI-84+, but that won't matter unless you're putting games onto your calculator.
- These both have Pretty Print, which makes the math on the screen more readable, but this was an add on feature that wasn't present in these calculators for the first 6 or so years they existed. In my opinion, the screen doesn't have a high enough resolution for it to work well, and any wide equation will scroll off the screen, which is frustrating. The feature can probably be turned off though.
As for the math capabilities for the TI-83+ and TI-84+ family:
- Perfect for any math class you'll take, until you get to calculus. It's still incredibly useful for calculus, but at that level, the TI-89's symbolic manipulation is nice to have (see below).
- Evaluates complicated expressions, solves some single variable equations, draws graphs (Cartesian, polar, parametric, sequences) and plots, calculates descriptive and inferential statistics, handles complex numbers, and I'm sure there's stuff I'm leaving off.
- See TI's website for more (they do a better job of describing its features).
In comparison, the TI-89 Titanium is a whole different level of calculator. If you buy one, you'll realize from the steep learning curve. Once you get used to it though, you'll never want to go back.
- Its huge advantage over the other 3 calculators I mentioned is symbolic manipulation. This means it can solve equations for you and take derivatives and integrals. To demonstrate what I mean, if you put 2x+3x in, it will tell you 5x. And if you put in arcsin(.5), it will give you pi/6, not a decimal. For any class from calculus beyond, this will make your life much easier!
** The downside to this power is that this calculator isn't allowed everywhere the other 3 are, like the ACT and in many classes. It is, however, allowed on AP tests and the SAT.
- It has better hardware than the other calculators, with a higher resolution screen, faster processor, and more memory. It has always had Pretty Print, which works better than the TI-84+ with the higher resolution screen.
- It can still do everything the other 3 calculators can, plus generally a bit more.
Back to the TI-84+ Silver Edition...
As far as the actual value of this product goes, it's a perfectly good graphing calculator, but all of TI's calculators are overpriced. For example, look at similarly priced phones on Amazon (even in the unlocked section, so there's no discount from contracts) and you'll notice the hardware blows these calculators away (I'm thinking of a particular XKCD comic... :) ). To be fair, I'm sure some of what you pay for is the calculator's software (cell phones can't do advanced algebra), but do a quick search for "Casio graphing calculator" and you'll still see TI's are overpriced. Unfortunately, virtually all schools and textbooks use TI exclusively, so we're stuck with the price until something changes.
As for my final recommendation:
- If you're taking a class that's lower level than calculus, buy this calculator. It's pricey, but your teacher and textbook will know how to use it, which will help you immensely when you're learning the ropes. If you want to save a buck, the TI-83+ is a good choice too. And a TI-89 Titanium would be overkill for your needs (your teacher probably won't even be that familiar with it).
- If you're taking calculus or above, buy a TI-89 Titanium. Once you get past the learning curve, you'll be glad you did. Trust me, it's worth it. Being able to check those derivatives and integrals will save your butt more than once.
- If you're buying a graphing calculator for personal use (i.e. not school), try shopping around. There's other great calculators out there not manufactured by TI (a lot of people like Casio and HP), and they're often cheaper.
P.S. (Last thing, I promise!) The product description says it comes with a silver faceplate. It doesn't. It comes with the plain grey one (they do manufacture a metallic silver one as well, which is the one I expected).
Based on price: 5/5
Time with Product: 4 years (purchased in 2017)
Review:
I love this calculator, it functions just as well as the newer models. Even though it is black and white, trust me you will like this. It is calm and easy on the eyes and minimizes distractions with colors. It helps a lot while only trying to focus on math.
There are only a few features missing from the CE edition, and unless you are a math major in college, you will not notice those differences. I promise this is a great buy especially for the money!
One thing I love is the battery level! The battery life is magnificent! I maybe change the battery once every 2 years. And yes, I do use it daily for 2 hours on average if not more on certain days.
IF YOU NEED A NEW TI-84 CALCULATOR FOR SCHOOL OR COLLEGE, THIS IS GREAT!
Thank you for reading my review!
If there are any questions or concerns please contact me, I am happy to help.
