I do not believe your statement about your grand son......perhaps I miss understand what you claim
Your grandson does not understand what the iPhone is doing. What he has figured out is how to push buttons and slide things.
All the latest studies show there is major damage to children who use technology at too early an age.....and for too many hours a day
All those things you talk about doing are nice but you weren’t 11 when you did them
Children are not light years ahead at all. They have access to technology. Most of them couldn’t write a line of code if their life depended on it. They don’t understand the hardware or even how it is manufactured.
The technology allows them to believe the world is instantaneous when it is not. It has given them the sense satisfaction is guaranteed. They believe everything they read on wiki or see on CNN. They lack discernment. Almost none of them have travelled.
These children are no smarter or quicker than my generation or my parents or grandparents
I don’t give a damn what you believe or not. He selects the pic folder and looks at them one by one, recognizes the different Dogs We have, People He has met, knows the arrow will play a video. Turns the Alarms on and off. He’s even called His Mother on the Video Phone once. He looks at a frontal pic of one of the Dogs and turns the phone over looking for the ass end of the Dog.
Wad your “studies up” and store them for someone else. the studies told us that eggs were gonna kill us because of cholesterol, then they changed their tune and said eat the bacon too. globull warming, cow farts yada yada yada blah blah blah...
Never said that I was 11 when I did those things.
I never said that Kids can write “Code” I said a Batch File- Big difference in the two.
He’ll not be watching the commie snewz network around here and has no use for Wikipedia yet if at all.
These Generations of Kids ARE smarter than We, Our Parents and Grandparents were at respective ages, believe it or not I don’t care.
I think that you have very little if any hope for the future. you might try pouring the piss out of your bowl of cornflakes and use milk instead and maybe a bit of sugar or honey. They’ll taste way better.
Try to have a nice day .
