Whoever wrote this gives me hope for the future. I recently read an article for a class entitled "Knowledge Deficits" by M. Bauerlein and follows the reasons as to why the present most affluent generation is the dumbest. The story behind this picture proves exactly what Bauerlein is saying. The current young generation believes that all these materialistic things such as smart phones, technologies, designer labels and cars are the most important thing. They would rather make sure they are in touch with commercialism and material posessions than their own education. Whoever wrote this gives some hope that intelligence and having "knowledge posessions" is way more important than anything else. Going without might somehow give you the biggest opportunity in the future. One day you can look back and be happy that you had forgone all those great things and can live a happy life without debt and be able to afford all those things you couldn't then. If more people like this existed, the "dumbest generation" might not be so accurate.
