you want me to live where?

In all honesty I believe that I could live in a cabin or a shack for just a few days.  I have become so dependent on technology that I feel like I would go through a true with drawl.  I can't even go 2 hours without my phone. If I miss Grey's Anatomy I immediately watch it on dvr, ondemand or online.
I wonder if we even have any natural instincts that would help us in the wild.  We are so reliant on technology that it could have overrode the natural aspects of our brain. Would we know how to make a knife? How to kill an animal? skin it? cook it? Would we know how to get clean water? Which plants are dangerous and which plants are edible?  Would our natural instincts change to starting over? finding civilization? trying to find a job? getting a car?
Thinking about it, I realize that I would have no idea where to start if I were alone in the wild.  I know that if I were stuck in a shack, somewhere, that after awhile, I would stop worrying.  I would stop caring about all of the things I care about now.  College, working, money, bills, everything would be gone.

We are not the dumb generation.

I feel like the older adults are forcing us to be interested in the same things they liked.  We constantly get yelled at for not knowing all of the things that they were forced to memorize in school.  The things that they think should be common sense.  The world is becoming so advanced with technology and such that we need to be more focused on what is coming next rather than what happened 200 years ago.
Also, who is to say what our priorities should and should not be? Our generation is going to do whatever it wants.  If it wants to sit on a computer all day, it will. We care too little to let someone try to convince us to learn something we don't want to know. But, is that the true downfall of our generation? Not caring?
Some say teenagers are on their phones too much, watching too much tv and playing too many video games.  They say we need to read more, study more and take an interest in our environment.  I feel like their plea is unrealistic.  Our parents let us do all of this our whole lives and you expect us to drop it? It's not going to happen. We are a lazy generation, I do agree with that. I know I would rather take a bus 10 blocks than walk it. I would rather sit on facebook than do my homework. But there are still kids who try their hardest in school and actually know the history our parents want us to know, and to tell them their dumb by generalization of their generation is unfair.

Jolts:
I always get yelled at by my friends and family when they watch tv with me.  Every 10 minutes or every time a commercial comes on I have a sudden urge to change the channel.  While surfing through the channels I'll stop at one or two and watch them for about 5 minutes and start turning through them all again.  After reading through the section about this in Culture Jam, it came to my realization that I am just looking for something to catch my eye in a show, a jolt.  It is almost like my brain is addicted to finding jolts or something exciting on tv. Little do you know, that shows have hidden jolts, you don't know it's happening when it grabs all your attention. So, while you're flipping through channels, you see a jolt in a show and you stop and watch it. By stopping at that channel, you just fell into tv's trap.
Commercials use jolts the same way.  Think about all of the infomercials that show the new inventions, they always grab your amazement and shock for a short period of time and the ingeniousness of the product submerges you into the commecial.  Jolts are what make up commercials.

Every teenager is inlove with MTV. This channel is filled with random jolts that you are so use to seeing, that you do not notice them.  In almost every show on this channel, there are random moments when the characters talk about sex, fighting, drugs, alcohol or partying. 
Are jolts the downfall of tv?
If the amount of jolts were regulated, would we be drawn to watch tv?
What if the cliffhangers we love to hate were only allowed in shows every once-in-a-while?
Would you still watch tv if there was half the suspense in everyday shows?
Would there be a big difference in tv?
If jolts were regulated, would we even notice?Since we subconsiously let jolts grab our attention now, would we notice if there were only half as many?
This section intrigues my interest so much because before reading it, I didn't notice how well tv industry was trained to warp our minds.
