Video games and the internet have been two important technologies that partly define our generation. Video games, like movies, create exciting illusions that spark our imaginations, while the internet allows us to actively seek an abundance of information IF we so choose. We can also engage in conversations and arguments with hundreds of strangers on the other side of the country, or the world.

If we look at the Arab Spring movements in Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia, we see that corrupt governments around the world are starting to crumble. Even in democratic countries, people will SLOWLY, but surely, start to realize that our patterns of consumption are unsustainable for human life into the future. We should all start thinking about solutions to these world challenges.

Again, the internet is our friend. Although the world is changing, and getting smaller, we can take comfort that there are hundreds, if not thousands of people going through the same challenges we are. We can communicate with each other outside of the control of governments, more and more.

In short, don't spend your time and energy complaining about everything. Since the world is going through difficult times right now, this is our chance to reform broken economic systems and create something that is better.
