And for your information...Yes, I'm old enough to be your father, and you know that "technology" you're talking about? I watched it being developed while I grew up. I played with a Commador 64 when it was considered state of the art. My sixth grade teacher was the envy of all his students because he had an Apple IIe, while all my family could afford was a Texas Instruments TI-99. Of course, the TI had better games so that made it pretty cool :D.
In the 25 years since I've watched as technology - in all it's wonderful forms - has developed into what we have today. And it isn't confusing or astonishing because, like most other people, I've had my hands in it throughout the entire time. As for the people older than me - people like my father's generation? The were CREATING it! They know as much, if not more, about it than I do.
So, no, I'm not trying to "tap into" the technology, because I've always had it. And I'm not jealous of you for having it either. Frankly I could care less that you have a blackberry, or whether or not your parents pay for it.
But I do find your the tone of your messages to be offensive. I do find your lack of ethics disturbing. And I have to say that the "me first and me only" attitude that you - and so many other kids your age - seem to possess is going to cause you a lot more harm than good later on.
