- My generation is "dumbed" with technology, no one is being friends anymore, people are valued after the phone they carry, they think someone is not valuable if they don't have expensive things, and many parents can't afford their children everything with their honest work - Stefan said for Telegraf.

Telegraf reports entire Stefan's essay:

"I won't lie to you, my generation, even me who is a part of it, I will say something bad, is dumbed with technology, telephones, computers, video games, even with television. I like listening to the stories of the old people, how they felt when all they needed was a field, a nice sunny day, and a ball and four rocks.

Our parents, grandmas, grandpas, great grandparents, uncles, aunts, had that fortune that they needed little. In today's time, when parents can't afford a modern phone, expensive shoes, expensive computer, or some worthless thing, then they turn out bad with their children, and they don't think why they can't afford it.

They can't afford it because you can't get everything with honest work, and I honestly believe that will change someday. But, I went too far. The real problem of our generation is that we are growing up at the time where modern technology is making us stupid. My entire generation owns a phone.

If someone would take their phones from them for one week, I am sure that there would be a general disaster, many wouldn't know what to do with themselves. There, that is the problem of our generation.

Our life comes down to getting up in the morning, tired for school because of the excessive use of phones, we go to the school where we get bored for 7 classes, we return home, we eat, we lie down again and we use the phone until midnight, and every day like that.

Weekend, when everybody goes out, five or six of us gathers, we order drinks, we are on our phones, there is no communication among people, it is more important to put some photo on Facebook or Instagram. It's like that, we just don't know how to live, and that is the problem of my generation.

My opinion is a problem of my generation could be easily solved by going to some sport where you could clear your heads for two or three hours of enormous insignificant information that interrupt our normal growing up!"

Stefan Jurkovic, as he said, truly knows the real values. Tablets, computers, and video games are not what he is interested in. Stefan got used to helping his father in the workshop after school. He has made several thousand feeders for babies, and he plans on continuing his father's craft.

This student of the high technical school "Mileva Maric-Einstein" finds time to do sports. And at the end, Stefan is the son of the great carpenter Mile, but, as he said, it's not important whose son you are, nor whose your father is, it is important to be a complete man one day.

- I am grateful to my parents for raising me like this and I will try to make them feel proud of me - young Stefan said at the end.
