In the article, "The End of Our Car Culture?" by Alessandra Potenza Thilo Koslowski says, " The iPhone is the Ford Mustang of today." This means that the love affairs with cars are coming to an end. This century is more about technology. More people are riding bikes everywhere they go. They don't even bother to get a license agree because Americans are now riding bikes wherever they go.
In the article it says,"Researchers say that the economic recession that began in 2007- though definitely a contributor." Americans today are buying cars less due to economic recession in 2007. The author also quotes, "Today, the resurgence of cities where shops and activities are within walking or biking distance." Today, everything is close together and either in walking distance or biking distance. The article also said,"Instead of driving to meet friends, young people use the Web [any mobile device] to feel more connected, while stricter teen driving laws in many states discourage teenagers from getting licenses." Teenagers refuse to drive because there are more stricter driving laws which puts more pressure on them and they are more connected with each other by using their phones.
This connects to teenagers because it show how much of a technological era. This shows that teens are more comfortable being to connect to each other through internet and cellphones. America's car culture is dying down. Its time for a new culture-TECHNOLOGY.
