Man, that is painful to watch.
We're heading closer and closer towards the film Idiocracy actually coming true. :|
I still want to know how many interviews they took before getting enough content for this video but... yikes :lol:
My favorite part is that he always tells them that they are right :lol:
:lol: Agreed, kinda taking a chapter from Louis Theroux and just playing along.Quote:

I wonder if any of this relates to everyone having every answer always a google search away since they were toddlers.....Quote:

So what does that say?Quote:

I'd lean toward yes. I don't know to what extent but it sure seems like the younger generation don't seem to retain basic knowledge. It's like one of those movies or book where everyone in society has a computer chip in their brains that accesses the net, no reason to use our real brains to store any of it long term.Quote:

it is scary, disconnecting from technology is tough for young people, i am looking at three others with at least three devices in use right now in the cabin where we are 'roughing it'. no tv, but there is wifi :lol:
I think a little tough love needs to be put in place here. The hardest part is the parents are on the devices too so it's not like they can be hypocrites. :)Quote:
