We are the generation of shopping, we scour shops for the best deal and still drown in debts. We set up paypal accounts for safer internet buying, we mock fashion mishaps and govern our wardrobes according to gurus who dress worse than the celebrities they ridicule. We are a superficial, vain, sheep nation, blinded by the harsh reality of a penniless, drowning economy and still wonder why we're still wanting more and more.
We are the generation of change, we saw a black president elected and loved, we laughed in the face of pandemic flu, we bravely sent our soldiers out for a cause we're still so unsure about today. We toppled tyrants and burnt memoirs in the futile hope that all pain would be erased. We whined about facebook changes and silently accepted them as a result of our addictive ways, we embraced new faces and mannerisms in the desperation of moving with the times. We adapt, mould ourselves and transform in this fast paced life and still wonder why we're still standing in the same position as ever before.
We are today's generation, yesterday's hopes and the future's bygones.

by the way... i think ...We are not the generation of communication... we are thegeneration who is obsessed by communication
"We text, email, chat on instant messenger and still wonder why we're so out of touch with our loved ones."
HFM! Don't you think this is the dominant feature of West - ego centrism, and that the essential message of Islam for humanity is to foster our relations with others? Change is inevitable.
M. Umer Toor I know I cannot stop change from happening, I was simply musing on how communication-obsessed we are, but like you said 'ego centrism' is the way of the West and the ever-changing era we live in.
We are fostering our relations via email+chat but it is also these very forms of 'too much' communication or absolute lack of care in the manner we are communicating with our loved ones which sever the ties Islam so greatly emphasises on. It's a confusing world.
You have figured out how confusing this world is. Everyone should start to...
