I am Ajit Johnson, a Ph.D. student working in cancer genetics and genomics, and when I am not deconvoluting the complexity of cancer (or at least that’s what I tell myself), I love telling stories through my graphic design artworks to spread love, hope, and encouragement.
It was one of those unproductive days when I realized that I look at my phone or open social media web pages far too long than needed, which inspired me to take up the challenge of not using my phone for a day. It was extremely difficult, but very soon I realized, how much more productive I can get and how much time I had, which I thought never existed.
#This_Generation is a set of minimal poster designs that I designed to emphasize the need to acknowledge tech addiction invasion without even being aware of it. The use of modern technology is, of course, fun and extremely useful, but blinding oneself of the dark side (cyberbullying, privacy, etc.…) can be equally dangerous. Also, spending much time plugged in affects our relationships and creates plenty of social issues, studies say.
Anyway, being guilty of many of these cool posters myself, I hope this series gets the message across in a hilarious manner. Now let me go Snapchat a selfie.

I do both, in a different order. Google, think, speak after writing it out (to make sure my fingers weren't faster than my thoughts, and it makes sense), then post. I used to post on the fly, while still running mostly on whatever feelings the piece or comments made me feel, and I just sounded like a complete idiot. I wish more people would slow down and do that. Usually I find I've lost the urge to post whatever I was thinking, and I'm sure most people would feel the same way too...

This one is actually not so bad. It's a time saver. Some people work better when taking notes alone and at their own pace, while browsing those blackboard photos, than when they can't concentrate on the class and the teacher's explanations, being too busy to write everything down before everything gets erased.

"10 and pregnant"? At 10 you're not sexually mature enough to reproduce.
Nickie 10 years ago
That's not true. Once a girl has a period, she's able to get pregnant. And some get them young. My mom got her period at 9 yrs old and I was 11 years old. And these days puberty is happening younger and younger. There are documented cases of girls as young as 8 years old getting pregnant, and one girl who got pregnant at 5 yrs old, but in her case she had a disorder that caused her to hit puberty young and the father is believed to be HER father, so hopefully that is a one in a billion circumstance.

It's not OUR fault when our parents put up an I-phone into our hands before we know what that thing even is. Yes, some kids DO pressure their parents for phones, but that's because other parents give their children those phones. And besides that, I don't see what harm a phone or a tablet or PC could do - IF used in moderation, that is.
JessicaDiane 9 years ago
My son has learned A LOT from our tablet! (not an IPad but same thing) He has always had a hard time talking, and after speech therapy, and my husband and I trying to teach him the best result we had were with certain apps that he paid attention to. The tablet actually helped my son tremendously! If it works for you it works! People need to stop judging others parenting techniques. Everyone does it different! There is no "wrong" way to parent (except for the obvious beating and neglect)
SusannaVesna 10 years ago
F**k the parents who give their kids an iPad instead of PLAYING with them, using intellectual toys! How many times i've seen a dumb b***h of a mother shoving an iPad screen infront of her kids nose and chatting away on her phone! And then we will wonder why there are so many weak-sighted retards around!!!
JustinProctor 10 years ago
To be fair the ipad provides much more interaction and education than a teddy would. All you get out of a physical object is a tactile sensation. You can still see the teddy and interact on every other level much more efficiently on an ipad. I am not saying tactile sensation is not important but once you are at the age to use an i-pad I see no logical reasoning against it. Yes, they will grow up to be robots that stare at their phones all day and can’t handle being unplugged. Let’s face it though; they would have ended up like that with or without the technology at a young age. I for example didn’t have a mobile phone for the majority of my childhood. I still spend many hours a day on the computer. I think we have agree technology is addictive but its also important. The same advances in our communication and technology have also reduced the infant mortality rate by a shocking amount. The question is, would you rather have a dead child or a zombie.

Since not everyone can be counted on to have common sense, perhaps there should be an automatic "kill" switch for texting on phones to keep them from killing themselves and others when driving...just a thought.
Nickie 10 years ago
What about when you're the passenger? Or getting verbal directions from the texts? (As some phones or apps read texts aloud) Btw, I don't think they meant texting kills, they were saying that this generation is killing grammar. Hence the grave stone saying "RIP Grammar"

all this is, is satire of magazines making women feel insecure because they don't look as pretty as photoshopped models thus making them buy make up to make themselves feel pretty, something that wouldn't have to be done if the magazine didn't photoshop in the first place. but instead you aim it at this generation even though all generations have been using make up.
