9 RepliesThis is what people wanted. Technology was supposed to revolutionise our lives and make things ten times easier. It did revolutionise our lives, and it does make things ten times easier. But there is also a flip-side which people ignored at the time, that it would encroach so much on our lives that for many people it becomes a crutch rather than a tool. People who grow up now will never have had a time without certain kinds of technology, so they will be incapable of doing certain things themselves unless they consciously learn it later in life. Like how lots of people these days don’t know how to cook because pre-prepared food is so cheap at a supermarket, and because going out to eat is relatively inexpensive. It’s not necessarily a bad thing though, it’s more just a cultural shift.

No. Integration with technology is a form of evolution. Since our primate ancestors first learned how to shape their environment into useable tools, this same phenomenon has allowed us to compete with creatures armed with thicker hides and sharper claws. Now, we have all of the accumulated knowledge of our species readily available at any time. This is only the beginning.

Edited by Jölly St Cïvïl: 11/10/2017 8:17:15 AMIt's what they were born into, they don't know much of anything else. Though I do have to say, any generation before millennials are worse than any other generation. They become the worst addicts of the internet. Not to mention their endless complaining about technology but then they fall in love when they try it. Plus, they get the added bonus of "I didn't have this when I was growing up. Back then you only had..." [spoiler] and god forbid you explain gigabytes and megabytes to them[/spoiler]

Edited by Crackerjack: 11/9/2017 11:14:00 PMIt's not any more of a problem than modern man's general lack of hunting and foraging prowess. People's lives change as technology does for better and for worse. What's more, the problems that do exist aren't limited to young people— excessive use of technology is prevalent among all age groups. Rates of suicide and anxiety have gone up as far as I'm aware, and the dopamine response that occures amongst habitual social media user is troubling. However, having constant access to the sum total of human knowlege and the ability to communicate with people remotely both syncronously and asyncronously through pictures, writting, voice, and video is far too useful to do away with. Like it or not, it's here to stay.

I think the problem is most of them are lazy and don't have a care in the world to get better. I don't know how many times I have to tell them to get off their phones and help the customers or pay more attention to their surroundings. -blam!- they call me superman at work because I have to bail their asses out all the time and apparently, I look like Superman. Always excuses. "Oh I didn't know." Then learn how it works you lazy -blam!-, this is your job. If you put any ounce of effort in learning how your job works you wouldn't be on your phone. No wonder why companies want robots.

3 RepliesAbsolutely not. This generation will be the one that makes more progress towards humanitarianism than any other. There are more young people in power now than ever before, (power not necessarily denoting governmental power) and the focus on genuinely helping the world is largely seen throughout the youth, despite the insecure kiddies who think that newer generations are somehow regressing.

No. It's just how the world works now. People had negative things to say about TV, radios, newspapers, etc. in previous generations. No matter what the latest thing is, there are always people who speak out against it, but it also always turns out that they're wrong.

2 RepliesI say, what the devil did you just audaciously proclaim about my well-being, you trollop? I shall inform you that I have graduated top of my class at the Gentleman's Academy of Sophisticated Persons, and have been involved in numerous endeavors with the Ruffians down the street from my abode; might I also add that I've accumulated over 300 pieces of antique furniture? I am educated in fine dining and high class catering and I'm the top Victorian era furniture appraiser in the entire high society. You are naught to me but a simple, uncouth brute. I shall embarrass the dickens out of you with class the likes of which has never been witnessed before on this humble planet, I solemnly promise. You assume you can disrespect my image on the internet? Think again, savage. As we speak I am contacting my diligent secretary to arrange a brunch together at the finest coffee shop in town, so you had better prepare a fetching enough outfit to compete with my immaculate attire, barbarian. The brunch that sends you packing back to the countryside. You are inevitably defeated, heathen. I can be booked at any appointment, any hour, and I can educate you in over seven hundred cultures, and that's just with the literary selection in my guest lobby. Not only am I extensively fluent in in several languages, I have access to the entire Giorgio Armani fall collection and I will flaunt it's finely tailored mastery to outshine your drab, common appearance off the face of humanity, you slob. If only you had foreseen the kind of comeuppance your inflammatory "insignificant" comment was bound to earn you, perhaps you would have tempered your words. But you insisted, and now I will teach you manners and grace and you will learn dignity and poise, yet. Consider yourself in etiquette school, peasant.

4 RepliesDefinitely This excess of technology has created a materialistic, narcissistic, ignorant, and soulless society.

No. The issues with society are the same that they’ve always been. They just show up in different ways with the changing times. Technological dependence is completely natural and inevitable. The people who want everything to stagnate at all costs are the real problem children. Embracing the transition would get this awkward phase over with sooner.

Always wanting recognition for everything and no patience.

1 ReplyTechnology is the future. The blame is on the people for depending on it too much.

Depends on how they are using it

Edited by Unicorn Goo: 11/8/2017 2:24:59 AMNo. Every generation is different than the previous. I'm sure your parents thought the same as well as their parents and their parents parents etc... The sooner you stop trying to stiffle them and just help guide them the better off you'll realize that they are.

5 RepliesEdited by Nobody: 11/7/2017 7:41:48 PMI saw this video, don't remember where besides that it was on youtube or what it was for/from and I may be misremembering some parts but heres the general idea, it showed a man and a woman walking down a street and they see each other and something causes them to start a conversation and they become friends, and eventually get married and have kids. Then it shows the same sidewalk scene again, but this time they're both on their phones and they walk right past each other.
