In the story The Last Storyteller, the author satirizes the fact that the generation of millennials is obsessed with their phones and all technology. It shows that the art of storytelling using anything but a technological platform is a lost cause. These people lose power for what is likely to be a few hours, and the boy is unable to do anything except question how his grandfather could tell a story without technology. It just shows how obsessive we are with everything technology. Nothing is worse than trying to tell someone something, and you just see them staring at their phones, nodding their heads, pretending to listen. You never see anyone without their cellphone in hand, and people panic when their phone loses charge, and it leaves them to actually communicate. How terrifying! I am guilty of this, but it's always good to just set down your device and actually talk and tell stories because you aren't going to remember what Britney posted on her Instagram ten years from now, you'll remember those funny stories your parents told you about your childhood or that time that you tripped walking up the stairs at school. I think that this article served its purpose very well. It actually makes you think about how much we use our technology, and helps you kind of laugh at yourself because we can see ourselves in the boy.
