VERSUS
Please take a moment to view the above photographs from Paris Fashion Week 2015 in their contrasting glory. Case in point. In the event that you are living in a hole and did not already know this, TECHNOLOGY IS TAKING OVER THE WORLD!!! So much so, that the street style from Paris FW even shows evidence of an electronically social society, which means that, yes, newspapers will most likely evaporate and become fossilized specimens similar to those of wooly mammoths and ancient starfish. However, we must not let this happen! As an avid participate in my generation's obsession with all things technology (the iPhone has single handedly revolutionized this planet), it is safe to say that I do not want, say, Instagram or Tumblr to simply disappear, but it would be extremely convenient if they were to step down and give good ol' newspapers and magazines another go. I happen to aspire to be a magazine journalist when I am older, and the thought that that might not even be an option when I am old enough to begin my career, frankly scares me. If we continue this fanatic obsession with receiving all of our information about the world from a CNN notification, and continue to be constantly involved in other people's lives via a single Tweet (i.e. "currently sitting in Dr. Mendelson's office, bout to get a cavity drilled, wish me luck guyz!!"), then what will be left 10 years from now?! Will we not be able to have the satisfactory sniff of the Wall Street Journal times new roman print every morning, alongside our kale and almond milk protein shakes? Will we have to learn about ISIS and elections via a cheery, dancing text bubble on the lock screen of our portables? What will this world be for the next generation when it is time for us to take the places of our parents and elders? What do you think?
