Well, there has been some good posts since I last blogged but I am back and I guess I have to step up my game if I am to compete as a essential part of this blogging community. What I would like to discuss today is the 'me' generation (or otherwise known as generation Y) for those of you that don't know it is the group of people born from 1983 to 1997. I have fallen into the stereotype that is a 'Me' generation. The general consensus is that we are the group of youths that experienced the dawn of the digital age with many of us born just before the launch of the Internet and being of an age when iPods, Myspace, blogging and Facebook hit the scene.

97% own a computer, 94% own a cell phone and 76% use Instant Messaging. This sums up the dependence of the 'me' generation on technology and it is because of this that we have been dubbed as selfish and without morals, something that has been blamed on the decline of teenagers and young adults that follow a religion. With a third of the 'me' generation speculated to have no belief system at all. Doesn't this smack of John Lennon's famous quote that "rock and roll would out last religion" Although I am not saying religion is dead, it is evident that it is dying and with current trends such as the lack of nuns in convents and the lack of priests worldwide it is hard to see a very long term future for religion.

So the question is, is a future without religion one that is bleak or is it not so bad after all? Will it be the 'me' generation that causes the demise?
