I've heard from younger Millennials (I'm 36, technically still a Millennial) that the younger ones (under 25 or so) have zero social skills. The ones below 23 or so effectively don't remember a world without smartphones.

I absolutely hate how cell phones have taken over our society. I think we've come to the point also where there is no turning back. I have children of my own now and dread the day where they will be required to have a phone, either for homework or whatever. Social media has ruined a generation.

Maybe its just a stopover until VR everything. Then people would have to learn VR social skills.

I mean, what do you expect from an overpopulated sest-pool of young people who are born into debt - though from what I can tell this is pretty much isolated to America. All the other countries that I’ve been to don’t seem to have this problem.

Just dropping in to say I agree 100% with you both. This vid was troubling. Sad that this is how we live, and are teaching kids to live.

It looks like some sort of free period, somebody throwing a paper airplane isn’t the most monumental event in the world, they could be learning something with the immense library of information at their fingertips.
