   As many can see, technology has certainly has advanced within the last couple decades. When cellular phones first came out, only those who could afford them possessed one. Now when you look around, the majority of those who use cell phones regularly are mostly young adults, teenagers, and even some children in their early childhood. When just focusing on teenagers, one can see by this image that virtually almost all teens posses a cellphone. These cellphone users are shown by this data collection to be mostly spread out among the population. The sex, age, race, and household income does vary, yet for the most part the numbers tend to be about average. Overall, this data collection shows that teens are all regular cellphone users for the most part even considering all the different qualities they have. With teenagers for the most part having and using cellphones on the daily, this can affect how they grow up and even are in the future.

   The message one can convey from this image is to embrace the lively moments to still feel youthful. From the image of the raining rainbow, there is what seems to be a busy business man whos protecting himself from getting 'wet' and the other figure that represents a young child embracing the rain. These characters seem to be polar opposites in the sense that the older figure is dark and the younger one is full of color and energy since they embrace and take in the colorful rain. What I believe this to mean is that one will enjoy life and have a youthful personality to them if they accept and take in all the fun aspects life has to offer. 
   A reason as to why society tends to believe older people to be grumpy might be due to them not enjoying all the fun and vibrant moments. When one gets older, one must take on many responsibilities that can cause them to be serious and almost portray having a lifeless character. A young child however has no worries in the world, all they do is play around and enjoy all things that come their way. One should never need or feel the need to block out fun situations just because they must take on a role as a responsible adult, if anything they should embrace those moments to feel a sense of youth and happiness.

The message in the image of what seems to be a soldier playing the piano comes across to an audience as that even if one carries such grad responsibilities with them, they will always have secret guilty pleasures or abilities they love. Everyone in society carries some secret talent or activity they find joy in doing. Even when taking such grand important roles such as in the work field or becoming a parent etc, one might feel as if they must stray away from these activities that bring them joy in order to meet the responsible characteristics to fit the role. 
  A humans natural senses might deter them from being their own selves to fit the standard others hold on them. Although many might face this problem, others might believe they need to express themselves whether be it by an art form or enjoying certain aspects life has to offer. Just because one takes on the form of being important, does not mean they have to leave everything behind of what makes them happy. In this picture, one correlates the soldier to being harsh and having high responsibilities, but simply because hes playing the piano does not mean his duty's value is weakened, just that he is enjoying himself and is happy.
