G+_Randy Hudson Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I'm not worried. This is the generation that will destroy all life on earth. Wait...I sound like my parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_John Yoo Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 They could be doing research on their phones. A couple of them have similar pieces of paper (perhaps a handout). They are grouped together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Stephane Duteriez Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 If the museum was smart, a interactive visit asking them to find information using their smartphones would be something. To let them the day at the museum without any goal, of course they would be all day looking at their phone. 20 years ago it wouldn't had been any better, they would just be sitting talking to each other. The positive is that they are more quiet today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Curt Steege Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 They could be going over the pictures they took, too, we don't know the context of the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 they are probably doing some assignment. Nonetheless, a few feet away, a global Patrimonium work of art, a treasure, is hanging on the wall.... right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Tom Wisniewski Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 This reminds me of how people complain about how these days in trains everyone just stares at their phone. They have some romantic version of train rides from the past where everyone had some deep conversations. In reality though everyone had their face in the newspaper or mindlessly stared out the window. Same thing here. Past generations would look at the painting, say "Oh that's nice", and then start chit chatting or chasing each other around the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Paul Comeau Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 As a friend who's been to that museum pointed out; The museum does have an app to use while you tour it. So the students are most likely doing research... Pics like these need more context, also the youth of today are no worse off then when my generation was vilified by magazines such as Time.

G+_André Gauthier Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I REALLY hope they will find this painting by googleing it! Otherwise, it will mean that it does not exist!!! And IF they find it, they better read what it's about. Online info is so much more correct than their art teacher is!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
