I watched a few videos like that. It's OK most of the time. Those videos help see things from the perspective of the younger generation. It also helps you appreciate how much the world has changed.
Their confusion is understandable, if not amusing. It's fascinating to see some kids figure things out in a short time. Yet others have unreal knowledge about things they may have only heard about.
The only really annoying part is when some kids mock the elder generation for the 'primitive' tech and lifestyle they've had. Older tech may be primitive, but they were essential steps to what they have now. Even more, those older tech were things you could tinker with and learn - unlike the soldered and glued black boxes we have today. Besides, sometimes a little less tech is good for your emotional wellbeing.
What I learned from those videos is that those kids are as diverse as any other generation. Only their perspectives have changed.
You know what, you completely changed my opinion of these videos. I now think I had an unnecessary negative view on these.
This really made my day. Thanks kind stranger!
It's very satisfying to hear that you made someone happy. Regards!
