/^t/Today's generation does not really bother about the artistic part of its life. It is not like a hundreds years ago when people delighted in art going to the museums, theatres, or galleries, at present time our life is extremely dynamic, so on the one hand people have no time for admiring art and on the other, they are simply lazy, especially young people. They are rather fascinated by the latest inventions of science and technology. The mobile phones, computers, fantastic cars, TV sets have dominated our life and what is more, they have become its inseparable elements. We can observe that more and more people try to outvie each other buying the superb equipment, for many of them it does not matter what kind of person they are but what is their financial position and social status. They do not care about their intellectual or artistic development at all. Instead of going to the museum, opera or to the cinema they prefer staying at home and watching everything without any reasonable selection or thinking. For them the beautiful paintings of Monet, Van Googh or Matejko are completely unknown things.
