OPINION
THE LION'S SHARE ON NEW TECHNOLOGY
A Modern Veldt of Technology's Impact
Throughout history, technology has
permeated every aspect of life;
continually opening, and widening
the gap between generations.
These days, modern technology is
openly used and embraced by the
newest generations. Unfortunately,
for the older generation, technology
has become a pothole in the road to
the generation beneath them. In
fact, most members of the
antiquated generations see the
computerization of life as simply
just another hassle. In recent times,
this gap has widened to a degree
seen nowhere in recent history. The
core reason for this, in my opinion,
is the relative pace of technological
innovation in recent years.
To define it simply, the generation
gap refers to the differences in
beliefs, values, attitudes, education,
and behaviours between people of
different generations; often
resulting from the unique cultural,
societal, and, technological
experiences each generation has
encountered during their formative
years. One such example of the gap
we have today is the differing
education in terms of
understanding, and making use of,
technology. Because of the recent
developments in technology,
generations such as the baby
boomers have a lacking
understanding of digital literacy,
social media, fake news, and almost
anything to do with computers.

Autism in Children

BREAKING NEWS
“MAYBE I’M WITCH, MAYBE I’M NOT” - NATE
Parsley? The New Superfood
In a surprising revelation, parsley is
gaining attention beyond its
culinary role. Dubbed the "Parsley
Paradigm," this herb is now seen as
a potential superfood, speculated
to go beyond nutritional benefits.
Emerging studies suggest that
regular consumption of parsley
might influence an individual's
humility, curbing pride and
fostering a more grounded
demeanor. This newfound
perspective on parsley's potential
impact on personality traits has
sparked widespread interest and
discussions, leading many to
explore its effects on human
behavior. However, health experts
call for more extensive research to
validate these claims, highlighting
ongoing debates around parsley's
proposed influence on pride and
even supposed “teeth
straightening.” As debates and
curiosity persist, the parsley
paradigm's potential influence on
personal traits continues to
intrigue health enthusiasts, urging
further scientific scrutiny into its
effects on pride and beyond.

Family of Four go Missing
The inexplicable vanishing of the Hadley family,
consisting of George and Lydia Hadley and their two
children, Wendy and Peter, has sent shockwaves through
the local community. The family was last seen at their
residence, where they were said to have been preparing
for a vacation departure.

Mr. David McClean, a family friend and psychologist who

their disappearance. According to Mr. McClean, the
family was getting ready to depart for their vacation

their travel arrangements. However, upon his arrival, the
house seemed eerily silent. There was no response to his
knocks on the door, and the house was unusually still.

As the investigation continues, authorities are calling for

community remains hopeful for the safe return of the The Hadley’s most recent picture
