Has there ever been an upcoming generation that was praised?
Duh!
Not that everybody is raised this way, but some kids are allowed to grow up being completely unable to deal with actual people in real life, look them in the eye, carry on a basic conversation, etc. And they don’t see a need to, either.
And they demand socialism to keep them “secure” and shield them from life’s challenges.
How boring. What happened to risk taking?
I think smartphone overuse contributes to shorter attention spans and impairs memory.
This generation growing up now, will be the voters of the future, if they can get away from their smartphones for a couple of hours.
This same generation will be the one voting for the “free stuff”, because, they won’t be bothered with getting an education and won’t be bothered with finding gainful-employment. They’ll just be staying with mom-and-pop until their 30s and then voting themselves the “free stuff”.
Heck, they’re so lazy, they can’t be bothered with spelling out complete words or phrases. LOL.
The things they are spending less time doing are the things my generation spent most of it’s time doing.
And many adults are now the same way! Isee parents ignoring their children. Missing precious bonding moments.
Smarter phones, but less informed people. Weird dichotomy.

All of this technology, and they can barely read or write, handle a basic conversation, or deal with reality. They are techno-barbarians. Their socialist handlers have them exactly where they want them - mindlessly joined to the Borg Cube.
If they are glued to their phones who is doing anything interesting enough to care about seeing or reading about on the phone? With no real interests how can they relate to or care about much of anything. Surely they get bored with themselves.
I feel bad for those that have never known anything but passive entertainment and communication by screen. Just imagine what happens if their phone/internet quits working. I just picture mass insanity as hundreds of millions are forced to deal with the fact that they really have no experience in functioning or even occupying themselves without referring regularly to a screen.
The rise of the 24 hour news cycle and social media via smart phone was a game changer for sure. Can’t picture anyone looking back in 50 years and thinking to themselves that it was this great thing for our culture.

13 to 18 limit time to 2 hours?
Not unless you are living on a sheep farm in Idaho.
The schools insist on their devices.
The wife flew back from a trip and a bunch of college kids were on the plane. The kids all had stuffed animals as though they were still infants.
