Are we the 'net gen' that they say we are? Of course not. Some, obviously yes, but all, no way. Why do they think of everyone as having this problem? Just the one's who are as they describe as this addiction to the net, we all have the bad name attached to us. I personaly do not think that a 'screenager' is aplicable to every single person. The following reasons will help me explain my thinking.
Thinking of this generation as adicted to screens, screens are everywhere. Of course there is going to be more temptations. But the fact being that they are everywhere doesn't mean that it is just our generation or our generations at all. Because people see them anywhere, this problem can easily be apart of anybodies generation. Not just ours.
Take the following example into consideration. A drug adict. Drugs are everywhere. Drugs are also addicting. Just as the 'net' may be in some cases. Yet, not everyone does drugs. Not every single person has that addicion.
In conclusion, as you can see, I believe that this generation is not the 'net gen'. Yes there may be a few here and there but it is not all of us. Like my example of the drug adict. So, I hope that the older generations will take this into consideration and not name this generation 'the net gen'.

I think that you are a very good writer. You gave me many reasons as to why you think that. You have me persuaded that we shouldn't be considered the "net gen". You have a great essay!
I definatley agree with you. You voice your opinion clearly and blunt. It gets the point across without frills and ribbons to cloud the true meaning. I think you did a good job, keep it up. Also, my grandfather doesn't stop watching Larry King, and he's not considered a screenager.
I really like where you are going with this, but I almost feel like it got cut short. I think you have a little more to say, so say it! ;D
