sad but true

someone in New York Magazine wrote this and I reread it and always think how true it is.

"..Kids today. They have no sense of shame. They have no sense of privacy. They are show-offs, fame whores, pornographic little loons who post their diaries, their phone numbers, their stupid poetry-for God's sake, their dirty photos!-online. They have virtual friends instead of real ones. They talk in illiterate instant messages. They are interested only in attention-and yet they have zero attention span, flitting like hummingbirds from one virtual stage to another.."

in the same article a young person is quoted as saying..." Without any meaningful standard by which to measure our worth, we turn to the public eye for affirmation.."
all of these words really make me scared for how things are gonna turn out for humanity.
