Do you find yourself in need of a constant new item or toy? Do you find yourself to be a big spender or saver?
I find myself always needing the new item or toy. I know that once everyone was getting into the iPhone, that my phone was just not going to be able to cut it for me. Since all my friends were getting iPhones and starting to "group message" each other, and my messages were coming as picture messages, I knew that I needed to keep up with the latest and greatest technology. As much as I want to always have the latest and greatest, I find myself being a saver when it comes to money. Being a college kid, you don't always have the extra money to go out and get the latest new thing, but I know when I'm able to save up a lot, I will so I can afford new things. But I find myself being an impulsive shopper. If I am just out at the store, and I see my friend's favorite candy, I will buy a bag, when I know I shouldn't be spending the money and I really should just be saving it. When I am out clothes shopping, I find myself buying things for other people as gifts and not just for myself. I wish I wasn't such an impulsive shopper and I know I should not just spend whenever I think someone needs something.

Generations Y
Generation Y is the large group of people who were born between 1979 and 1994. As a generation we have seen and been exposed to many things that most people in the generations before us have never seen. Not only have we witnessed the effects on terrorism on our country, but we have seen the first black president, technology that is way ahead of our time, and cures for diseases that scientists and doctors have long awaited to see. This is something that I find so impressive.
Technology has greatly affected our generation. This is something that is very obvious and prevalent in our generation. I think back to my history classes, when the model T car took months to make, and now Ford can build a car in minutes. Now we can literally ask our cars to make calls and find out our locations and offer assistants to where we have to be. Especially with our generation we rely on our cell phones, TVs and gaming systems to keep us entertained. It seems as though we need to be connect to our friends, social media and the world at all times. It is going to be interested to see where technology takes us and what is going to happen in the future as these technologies develop.
Do you think that you would be able to give up your cell phone for a day? A week and be able to get through the few days not being connected at all time?
