This s*** is out of control. I know a big part of the reason is current parents are likely so exhausted and overworked that they can’t handle giving their kids’ proper attention, but Christ if it doesn’t make me feel sad seeing how common this phenomenon is, and the potential ramifications of it as it pertains to Gen Alpha.

They're reading The Communist Manifesto on Apple Books

millennials literally some of the worst parents to ever grace this planet its crazy

You mean like people always on their phone as an adult/teen and people always on their Gameboy/DS/PSP as a kid

They need to be banned

yeah bro there's nothing different between a gameboy and an ipad you're completely correct, they're entirely equatable

There isnt

Most kids are playing games and taking pictures, especially in public with no wifi - and at home theyre on youtube

Yeah so were kids before but instead of the demonic ipad it was the holy computer & phone

Its like people forget what it was like it to be a kid.

Literally the same s*** as those old boomer memes complaining about us on our phones

Yeah the kids should be monitored on the internet (which they cant really do in public in most places in terms of op) but in general its the same s***

Relax

who gives af lol there not your kids

And im not saying its "ok" or "not ok"

Just saying that it literally barely any different from the past, especially OIR generation lmao

And im sick of doomer nihilistic tone of tjis form growong more and more growing because theyre all in their mid to late 20s depressed and not in the loop so theyre out of touch and and alarmist just like the boomers before them on, again, OUR generation

Yall might have forgot what it was like to be a kid or how s*** was during our kids/teen years but i didnt lol

Quit with the exaggerating & high horse - talking in generals of the forum and out of touch grown ass lonely adults

S*** really is true tho, its never ending cycle of the previous generation thinking theyre better than the next generation & the never ending cycle of "kids these day". Oldheads

Preach mf’s sound like their parents itt

Sad reality is it will all just reinforce the "sink or swim" nature of our lives, where those who are not exceptionally gifted will fall into a swamp of mediocrity orbiting the technology and lives of the exceptionally gifted, who will occupy the scant authoritative and well paying jobs in an AI driven future whils most toil in low paying labor

How about cuminaman fisto

I feel like the repercussions of device dependency and digital media addiction on the human body and mind won't be fully understood until decades from now.

Some research already suggests that exposing a child to too much screen use will negatively impact their cognitive development

Yo is anyone seeing this

i mean they were raised by gen xers and boomers so they probably just think as long as they not being like their parents it’s fine lmaoo

You spitting. My nieces and nephews (Gen Alpha) are some of the most intelligent kids and they be glued to their s*** just like I was when I was a kid when they ain’t making up random games or busy doing random kid s***.

There’s a time for learning, a time for being a kid, and a time to just sit back and relax watching/playing s***

!dream The dystopian nightmare of seeing kids in public walking around glued to iPads.

you're delusional

My child will never have an iPad or tablet

tldr: Consumer & p*** addict parent will pass on their traits to their children
