After that: Logan’s Run
These idiot kids aren’t thinking ahead. They know the newest tech, but they will work to prevent the electricity needed to run it. They will rat out their parents and then starve on the government rations and freeze when the government rations heat. They proudly wear old clothing, but as the supply of new clothing shrinks and the price rises, soon there will be less used clothing and it will cost a lot. They think they will thrive by taking governemnt money for education and then working for the government, but without producers to fund that government, they will work for whatever food the government can provide. Without real ag producers, imagine the quality/quantity of that food. Oh, and note that cloned and GM food is now being accepted even by organic processors and the brilliant kiddies are not reacting at all.
What is important, children? The latest generation of tech communication gadgets or water, food, energy and real medical care? Who cares what you can program if you are dead and dying. You won’t even be allowed to create anything new because of scarcity.
Thirty years ago, when this stuff was already rampant in the schools, I remember explaining how the world works to my son, who just rolled his eyes. It only took a few years for him to say:”How did you know all that, then?”
I was under 40, at that time.
