Born in the upper half of the 90s - yeah, maybe. 2000+ - I'm not sure at best. Sometimes I meet amazingly smart people on the first look from that group, but then there are gaping white spots in their worldview.
That's wrong. They are fscking clueless.
I'm tail end of the 90s and my half brother is late 00s, the difference in attitude, work ethic and learnings is astounding.
I have personally witnessed this kid (I love him I swear) throw a controller through a TV because Fortnite lost connection (old man turning the wifi off because it's the only way to get his attention).
It fucking disgusts me, I know I was bad when I was younger, but nothing like that.
I'm not even sure Millennials will get their time in the sun at this rate, some numpty in politics will find a new idea for legislation to ensure the millennial suffrage continues unabated.
Yes. If you can condition mice to do things, you can condition humans.
So - with that generation the benefit from possibilities they technically have is negated and more by the conditioning which wasn't quite there when we were growing (it both wasn't as easy to do and the companies doing it were still developing).
I can absolutely point to the exact moment my grades started going down, and it was when I started taking a phone to school. I have no clue why they're not banned outright, and in some instances in my country they provide these kids with laptops. It was of great use to me in my final school years, however it was borderline necessary to complete many of my studies on a PC. All I hear regarding these newer ones, is that they're constantly subverting the schools lockdowns of the devices to play Fortnite etc. I remember pulling the exact same shit when Minecraft came out, and we were already making a mess of the library with CS1.6
