Third Millennium
Third Millennium It is evident in our contemporary society that the Silent and Beat Generation have had a profound and guiding influence on how young adults identify themselves and others, and how these previous generations have shaped America’s identification. The 21st century, however, also holds a significant role on how society interacts as the remarkable advancement in technology has caused an unhealthy dependency and consumption of mass media. Frank Conroy, a noted figure from the Silent generation who lived through the economic and social hardship caused by the bombing of the Japanese city of Hiroshima in 1945, would be astounded and perhaps even a bit overwhelmed by the economic inequity in America and the degradation of morality and the presence of unquestioning conformity in society.

What's the deal with Mail Routes?
I am waiting on a postal delivery. I rarely use my mailbox. I check it at best once a week. But today, there may be a check arriving and money is always a powerful motivator. However, I have no idea when my mail usually arrives. In the past I would not often be home during the delivery time. In addition my mailbox is across the street and the view is obstructed by trees. So unless I look outside at just the right moment, I am unlikely to see the mail truck drive by. So today's writing exercise will be focused on learning as much as I can about mail routes.
