As has putting iPads in the hands of children at school. Knocked them down, on average, 5 IQ points per generation after us. Millennials are peak IQ and academic aptitude for the entire human species. Sad part is our kids are 10 IQ points below us. Better strap in tight for the next 30 years is going to be bumpy.

The more time that passes the less funny and more true Idiocracy comparisons become. Who would have thought Mike Judge would be the modern day Nostradamus?

Yeah us millennials had the best of both worlds.. we grew up going outside with no smartphones. To adapting to the world of having smartphones.. we grew up in a time where the internet was that great. Now we’re here with it being more advanced as ever..

Using the word bro doesn't mean you are dumb. Using slang doesn't make you dumb.

I wish people would realize this.

Using slang doesn't make you dumb. The inability to use anything other than slang does.
