Have smartphones destroyed a generation?

Worth a read if you're bored.

I don't think they have destroyed a generation, they have certainly changed a generation.

If you think information is bad, then ya

As teens have started spending less time together, they have become less likely to kill one another, and more likely to kill themselves

That’s sad. Hopefully, the net result is the same.

Since the dawn of time child mortality due to illness, disease & poor work conditions has been a fact of life and death.

So now that measles, mumps and polio have been solved the world fills that void with Snapchat suicides.

Darwin would love this.

Is it better off this way? Tough debate.

That’s a great question.

When families lived in log cabins and woke up early to milk the cows there was zero teenage suicide.

However, back then a kid would randomly be exposed to a disease - the child’s ability to fight the disease would test his genetic strength. Maybe the kid would end up with a withered leg and have to play first base but on the whole nature’s plan worked.

The Republicans killed the unions so being physically strong doesn’t count for shit today.

It’s all about brainpower now. Through some amazing development nature now attacks weak minded kids through technology. Bingo, nature culls the herd for the benefit of society.

People drive vehicles that give them directions to their destination. So yeah, sometimes information is a bad thing.

Instead of watching something with their own 2 eyes and having it etched into their mind forever They instead are at a live event watching it on their small phone as they are filming it....seems a bit stupid to me
