In the year 2000 Josh McDowell wrote a book called, The Disconnected Generation. In it he said, “If I were asked to identify the core reason that our young people are succumbing to the lure of a godless culture I would say it is that they feel alone, disconnected, and unsure of who they really are. Many young people . . . feel disconnected and alienated from their parents, from adults in general, and from society as a whole. Recent scientific studies . . . confirm that our kids today are disconnected from most adults and lack a sense of personal identity and purpose . . . We must . . .  understand their makeup and why they feel so painfully disconnected and alone.”

That sounds like a description of today's kids....but wait, I thought we were the connected generation? Interesting, huh? In terms of personal relationships and social skills the current "connected" generation is more disconnected than ever before.
