Our new found, or should I say, resurfaced priorities still lie in offering an emotional connection and an<br />
opportunity allow them to reduce stress. <strong>The</strong> overall culture of the millennials and <strong>Generation</strong> Y, show strong<br />
drives towards intimacy, however they tend to be so consumed in the digital age that they make no time for that<br />
reaction to occur. Instead they resort to using technology to fulfill those needs, cutting out the initial human<br />
interaction. Yes, regressing back to a more organic and simplistic nature of living does give us the need for<br />
isolation and the reclaiming of space to be alone, however we still need and want interaction and someone to<br />
share the experience with. Interacting with people in a natural environment also tends to come more naturally,<br />
crazy concept right. We’re so quick to jump to some type of electronic resource in order to communicate.<br />

in the new generation and its advancements we must restore the sensitive balance of the primitive connections<br />
to who and what, we are. It is there that we will find our individual identity and embrace natural interaction.<br />
