Honest Posters of Our Relationship with Technology

Designer Ajit Johnson, living in England, has imagined a series of posters called “#This_Generation”. With honesty, the posters show anecdotes linked to our daily relationship with technology and social networks.

“Can’t work a computer to it’s full potential or send an email, proceeds to ask someone a 1/3 to ½ their age for help.” #LastGeneration

“Can’t accept the fact that meaningful relationships can be made online, struggles to respect and accept said relationships.” #LastGeneration

“Has drained and abused the Earth for it’s resources, and believes that a young person would choose internet over survival. Expects us to survive and solve the problems they have created.“ #LastGeneration

“Does not understand that phones are meant for communication, also does not understand that the average semester lasts 4 months.” #LastGeneration

“Refuses to give proper sex education, shames the younger generation for not knowing.” #Last Generation

“Does not understand how social media works and that not deleting/avoiding your recent ex online is just as bad as seeing them every day.” #LastGeneration

“Also texts and drives, pretends that they are not responsible for any accidents caused by their idiot mistakes.” #LastGeneration

“Shames teenagers for taking photos of themselves that make them feel positive about their physical image, probably can’t work the camera themselves.]” #LastGeneation

“Believes that a person’s way of texting with people they are comfortable with is a sign of their intelligence level, texts just as bad, if not worse.” #LastGeneration

“Believes our generation are internet druggies, does not even acknowledge our reasons for being online, or what we do online.” #LastGeneration

“Has caused wars, economic failures, environmental disasters, perpetuated hate based on gender/race/sexuality/religion [or lack of]/and more, pretends that the younger generation is the problem.”  #LastGeneration

Whoop there it is

The thing I hate the most about the last generations criticism of technology is that they refuse to acknowledge we have more options. That’s why we are online. We don’t have to go to a library to read a book anymore. Hell, the size of a book can intimidate some people but when you don’t know how long a book is, you aren’t scared for lack of a better word.

We can communicate with people across the seas and make friends, get to know how they are doing.

The internet has given us more options for

And with selfie culture, you can take a picture of a good moment with your friends and post it, saying exactly what the context was. When you’re 60, you can look back at the gallery and read the descriptions and have a more accurate memory of what happened than with just looking at old faded photos.

Also, internet allows for the spread of more accurate news on things like social issues. Because people can look up multiple sources whenever they want and draw their own conclusion. Without social media, Michael Brown would have died a thug and Leelah Alcorn would have died a boy.

entertainment and social interaction as well as issues so don’t let the last generation take that away from us.
