This movie is the perfect base for a new Michael Moore movie. It reveals the pure lazyness of the technologygeneration that we are, and proves once and for all that everything we do and learn daily is irrelevant when it comes to the real world, simply because what we chose to spend time on is worthless in the long run. We use facebook, we abuse myspace, we sit hours in and out watching TV and buying products designed to make us more dependent on digital appliances. We live in a world of ignorance, where we believe that as long as we are good, nothing or no one else matters. We do not care whether third world humans have a good life, we choose to close our eyes to every problem that doesn’t affect us on a day to day basis. Students would spend more time worrying about the schools internet going down than they would if a nuclear bomb hit some far away country, and left thousands for death. Is this what we want to leave behind for future generations? History will consist of “great geeks of the 19th century” and “Internets greatest hits” instead of authors, instead of poets. We leave behind a legacy that is worthy of no man, and the truth of it is that we do not give a damn.
Why were we scared new years eve of 1999? Because we all knew if technology would fail this day, human existence as we know it would be erased, and we would all go back to being cavemen. Perhaps this wouldn’t have been such a bad thing? ….
It would, if nothing else, have given us the option to change what we have become.

This was a piece of text showing insight, maturity & reflection. Idiomatic language with few errors (yes, guess who)
