Engage Today

Television News, Young People and Politics Conference:

                                                                 Generation Disconnected


Standing in a room full of people can sometimes feel so lonely and empty.  It's the energy of connection, bonding with others that enables that feeling of community and sharing.  These are challenging times when so many young people are disconnected or disengaged from the simplicity of living.  Technology has enabled us to advance in so many ways, making our lives effortless and simple to maneuver.  Maybe in exchange for this convenience, we have also seen the erosion of  basic human communication.  The exchange of information today is huge and instantaneous.  The exchange of humanity is of so much more importance.  Language and communication is one way for us to express ourselves to others.   More attention needs to be given to human expression in order for relationships to grow.  Post-it notes, text messages and video conferencing are great additions to quality communication, not replacement of such.  Remember to remain engaged with the world around you, and stay tuned for so much more.....
